Historical Tales and National Identity: An introduction to narrative social psychology
Autor János Lászlóen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2013
In this book Laszlo enhances our understanding of narrative psychology and further elaborates his narrative theory of history and identity. He offers a conceptual model that draws on diverse areas of psychology - social, political, cognitive and psychodynamics - and integrates them into a coherent whole. In addition to this conceptual contribution, he also provides a major methodological innovation: a content analytic framework and software package that can be used to analyse various kinds of historical texts and shed new light on national identity. In the second part of the book, the potential of this approach is empirically illustrated, using Hungarian national identity as the focus. The author also extends his scope to consider the potential generalizations of the approach employed.
Historical Tales and National Identity will be of great interest to a broad range of student and academic readers across the social sciences and humanities: in psychology, history, cultural studies, literature, anthropology, political science, media studies, sociology and memory studies.

Recenzii
‘Historical Tales and National Identity is an important book exploring the nature of individual and collective identity. László is one of the most thoughtful social psychologists in the world. He draws on basic research in social, cognitive, and clinical psychology to uncover basic truths about the stories people tell about their countries, their history, and themselves. This is a book that will inform discussions among historians, anthropologists, linguists, political scientists, and especially psychologists.’ - James W. Pennebaker, University of Texas at Austin, USA
‘Professor László provides an integrated and up-to-date account of the functions of narrative. Drawing comprehensively from cognitive, personality, interpretive, text analysis, and representational studies, Professor László analyses how narratives produce and are produced by identities. This book is an essential reference for scholars of narrative that brings together scientific and hermeneutical approaches in a readable way. He provides a lively recipe for creating an interdisciplinary science of stories.’- James H. Liu, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

Descriere
Historical Tales and National Identity outlines a theory and a methodology which provide tools for better understanding the relation between the present psychological condition of a society and representations of its past. Author Janos Laszlo argues that various kinds of historical texts including historical textbooks, texts derived from public memory (e.g. media or oral history), novels, and folk narratives play a central part in constructing national identity.
