Abstract

Text resulting from the lecture presented at the XIV EBICC, held at the Federal
University of Paraná in September 2024. It analyzes narrative as a mode of meaning
production that substantiates human thought. Four directions are explored: the
cognitive sense of the stories we tell each other, the cognitive benefits of elementary
narrative forms, the inherent limits of narrative meaning production, the conditions
of continuity between the most elementary narrative cognition and narrative culture
in general.
