Do narratives have restorative power? If so, what kind of narratives have this power, and how do we identify them? In this seminar we discuss possible analytical approaches to identifying and understanding restorative narratives in different disciplinary and methodological traditions and discuss the possibilities and limits of interdisciplinary methodologies in understanding restorative narratives.
