Abstract
This article represents the interactional approach to the study of child narration. The analyses reveal the process of story creation by children in the roles of narrator and co-narrator. In building a narrative text alone (solo narration) or together with another child (co-narration), the child transmits new information to the peer listener about the adventures of storybook heroes. Nine hundred and sixty children ranging in age from 3 to 7 years took part in the investigation (384 in narrator and co-narrator roles and 576 in listener roles).

A modified version of Peterson and McCabe's (1983) method of narrative analysis was used. The results showed that co-constructed narratives underwent change with age in reference complexity (greater change than in solo constructed ones). Co-narrator contributions were analyzed in terms of (a) new reference content (introducing new reference situations), and (b) operations upon the partner's text (in various categories mainly confirmational and supplementary). The dominant partner in introducing new content was the initiator of the dis-course, whereas the dominant one in performing text operations was the con-tinuer. Changes across the age span were found in both types of co-narrator contribution. These results showed the changing structure of preschoolers' par-ticipation in co-narrative discourse.

The development of narrative identity is a critical task for emerging adults—one shaped by parents and peers. However, how diverse audiences might jointly shape narrative identity remains underexamined. The present study addresses this gap, examining how emerging adults perceive diverse audiences for their narratives and tailor those narratives. In Study 1, emerging adults ( N = 112 and 106) rated peer audiences as more frequent, comfortable, agreeable, and less challenging audiences compared to mothers and fathers. In Study 2, participants ( N = 106 participants; n = 1272 narratives) responded to four narrative prompts: first, the standard prompt with no audience specified and then edited those narratives (if desired) for mothers and for friends. Broadly, relative to friends, mothers elicited more positive, but also more edited, narratives. These findings illustrate the social-relational dynamics of narrative identity construction in emerging adulthood, as well as implications for narrative autonomy and narrative intimacy.

The article aims to uncover the nature and distinctive features of the contemporary messianic narrations in the Russian public discourse, as well as estimate their impact on the actual policy-making. For this reason, the article scrutinizes the political philosophy of Aleksandr Dugin, Nataliia Narochnitskaia, Egor Kholmogorov, and Vadim Tsymburskii. Their major messages are contrasted and compared to a variety of recent developments in Russia's domestic and foreign policies. The hypothesis is put forward that the messianic narrations are furtive, though unalienable factors which propel and justify Russian domestic and foreign policies. Therefore, it is always worth considering Russian policy-making through the prism of the nation-wide religious self-identification, as well as acknowledging a number of "eschatological duties" which derive from this self-identification. Finally, the article provides an overview to the western scholarly perspectives on Russian messianism with a specific emphasis on British and US contributors.

"Der vorliegende Beitrag fokussiert auf die komplexe Beziehung eines KZ-Überlebenden zu jenem Ort, in dem er zugleich als KZ-Häftling inhaftiert war und daran anschließend mehrere Jahrzehnte dort auch gelebt hat. Diese lebensgeschichtliche Besonderheit bietet sich an, anhand der konkreten lebensgeschichtlichen Erzählung des Betroffenen die diversen Schichtungen des lokalen Gedächtnisses des Konzentrationslagers, wie sie sich bereits mit dem Zeitpunkt der Befreiung des Lagers 1945 zu formieren begonnen haben, zu erörtern. Dies geschieht, indem die Lebenserzählung als Dokument einer stets neu sicherzustellenden persönlichen Ich-Identität gelesen und interpretiert wird, die insbesondere aus einer Integrationsgeschichte besteht, in der die Zugehörigkeit zum Ort Ziel und Hindernis zugleich ist. Was auf den ersten Blick eine von vielen Erzählungen über Widerstand, Verfolgung, KZ-Haft und schwieriger Rückkehr in ein normales Leben zu sein scheint, wird unter der hier vorgestellten Betrachtungsweise als Dialog mit den lokalen Gedächtnisregistern erkennbar."

Describes the formation and operation of a category of Palestinian and Israeli 'world literature' whose authors actively respond to the expectation that their work will 'narrate' the nation, invigorating critical debates about the political and artistic value of national narration as a literary practice. The crisis in Israel/Palestine has long been the world's most visible military conflict. Yet the region's cultural and intellectual life remains all but unknown to most foreign observers, which means that literary texts that make it into circulation abroad tend to be received as historical documents rather than aesthetic artefacts. Rhetorics of Belonging examines the diverse ways in which Palestinian and Israeli world writers have responded to the expectation that they will 'narrate' the nation, invigorating critical debates about the political and artistic value of national narration as a reading and writing practice. It considers writers whose work is rarely discussed together, offering new readings of the work of Edward Said, Amos Oz, Mourid Barghouti, Orly Castel-Bloom, Sahar Khalifeh, and Anton Shammas. This book helps to restore the category of the nation to contemporary literary criticism by attending to a context where the idea of the nation is so central a part of everyday experience that writers cannot not address it, and readers cannot help but read for it. It also points a way toward a relational literary history of Israel/Palestine, one that would situate Palestinian and Israeli writing in the context of a history of antagonistic interaction. The book's findings are relevant not only for scholars working in postcolonial studies and Israel/Palestine studies, but for anyone interested in the difficult and unpredictable intersections of literature and politics.
