J. Bruner and the story-telling

In a recent conversation with my colleague Daniela Giordano about story-telling, she pointed out to me the importance of the pedagogical theory of J. Bruner.
I immediately buy some of his book:
Bruner J., (2003) Making Stories : Law, Literature, Life Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA.
and
Bruner, J. (1996) The Culture ofEducation, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA.

According to the pedagogical theory of J. Bruner the story-telling theory is a process allowing, the construction of a personal identity. To tell a story is the way how a reality and a society is known and understood. To tell a narration trough a story is more efficient, memorable and involving with respect to more traditional way of organizing information and data. In this context the communication is not necessarily face to face. His observations are still valid in a forum or in a web-community. In this context to build and narrate a story is the way of determining and building the common language.

I want to suggest also the reading of the paper ''Communities of Interest:Learning through the Interaction of Multiple Knowledge Systems'' by Gerhard Fischer
home page: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~gerhard/
According to Fisher reaching a common understanding in a community over the web is a major challenge due to the “symmetry of ignorance” caused by their respective cultures and their use of different knowledge systems.
