	Conflict (narrative) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conflict is a necessary element of fictional literature.
		When an entity is in conflict with his, her, or itself, the conflict is categorized as internal.
		Conflict was first described in ancient Greek literature as the agon, or central contest in tragedy.

	Taming Chaos: The Dynamics of Narrative and Conflict
		The narratives or stories that people tell in situations of conflict are of tremendous significance to its maintenance and resolution.
		Even though the banal realities of the conflict were available in the history of the town and on the wire from a local news service, the media at large persisted with a tale of provincial conspiracy.
		But the conspiracy narrative was part of the structures shaping the conflict in the first place; indeed, it effectively became part of the conflict itself.

	Book Summary of Narrative Mediation: A New Approach to Conflict Resolution by John Winslade and Gerald Monk
		This approach is organized around the narrative metaphor- the notion that how we talk about ourselves and our conflicts shape how we perceive and react to these conflicts- and is premised on the idea that language plays a central role in constructing who we are or how we engage or behave with others.
		Narrative mediation breaks with interest-based mediation by questioning the assumptions that humans are motivated to further their own self-interest and that conflict is best resolved by finding a set of underlying interests that can be bridged through collaboration or compromise.
		Although the authors consider the narrative mediation approach as an alternative to interest based mediation practices, this new approach could be used in conjunction with more traditional practices to discover the ways in which our interests, positions, and view of the conflict is shaped by social forces and discourses.

	Narrative Mediation: An Exercise In Question Asking
		Narrative mediation attempts to put aside the conflict-laden stories and assist the parties in jointly constructing a new story that will govern their behavior and sustain an ongoing relational dialogue.
		Narrative mediation differs from traditional mediation in that the regulation of the process is not necessarily independent of the content.
		The narrative mediator is quick to point out that the persons are not the problem, the dispute is the problem, and they must jointly control it.

	Conflict Coaching (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Narrative mediation theory is interested in the ways humans use stories to make sense of their lives and the ways different stories can lead to conflict and resolution.
		Narrative mediation might be used to design a model of conflict coaching where current conflict stories are identified and the possibilities of new, more effective stories are explored.
		Although the conflict styles approach to conflict coaching uses a standardized measurement device, the conflict styles coach encourages the participant to bring his or her own experience to evaluating conflict categories and relational behaviors.

		This narrative structure also specifically includes a central protagonist, a conflict involving a dilemma of normative morality, a second act propelled by the false resolution of this dilemma, and a third act in which the dilemma is resolved by an act that reaffirms normative morality.
		Conflict is achieved by resistance to the player achieving that goal, in the form of opposing enemies, puzzles, barriers, and the like.
		The sense of level-specific conflict can be enhanced by increasing difficulty through a level, or by an internal dramatic structure that emphasizes the point of completing the level, such as the defeat of a level boss, the big barrier creature at the end of the level.

		I mean that is what a narrative is. It is a coherent, closed system that seeks to maintain that coherence and you alter the component parts-either the plot, the character or the themes-and the whole thing changes.
		The logic that an intervener or conflict specialist would have to follow is one that doesn't come from a textbook and doesn't come from some narrative theory.
		The good narratives are richer narratives because they have some sense of complexity, and responsibility for the things that have happened to the victim.

	CONFLICT, EXPERIENCE AND NOSTALGIA IN FAMILY NARRATIVES
		The vision of the past, characteristic to narratives, depends on the taste, opinions and attitudes of the period, they affect the narrative event and change in the course of narration.
		The story consists of conflict narrative (leaving the Karelian home), ethnological accounts of life in fishing village and fishing (a unique way to preserve a lost culture) and ends with an evaluative summary (the war took home, but gave experience; how his home had affected him; what has it meant for him).
		Narrative heritage intrigues folklorists mainly due to the established cultural stereotypes, as it does not introduce mere historical facts, but reflects also people's attitudes, tendencies of tradition, cultural differences and different narrative structures (what to tell and how).

	Gangster
		Narrative is a part of the ritual view of communication, the main goal of which is to make individuals cohesive within a society.
		The second way to resolve this conflict is to practice neurotic acts, such as watching a film in which one can both vicariously participate in the destruction of society with the gangster (relieve the id) and be part of the punishment (assuage the superego).
		Narrative is also a part of the ritual approach to communications, which sees all communication as an attempt to glue society together.

		The conflict or competition with other persons is part of the environment that demands a toolbox of useful sayings and expressions to prepare the speaker to successfully out compete the other persons.
		This shift might be forced because of a conflict with another narrative but as Kuhn explains in his examples, it is more likely a result of data of experience that is not successfully explained by the working paradigm.
		The dominant narrative of the US capitalist economy and the reinforcement of values of consumership override the values and narrative of traditions that previously sustained the villages and the rules and habits that enabled survival.

		Narrative is generally employed in conflict resolution processes in a factual mode: stories are told to 'filter' so-called 'facts'.
		Narrative, then, plays a part in how an environment is constructed, how characters are portrayed and how meaning is assigned to their actions in a particular context.
		This narrative analysis can be used for fictional stories, but also applied to the actual conflict narrative.

		One constant in the tradition of the blason, certainly for narrative, is that it occurs early in the story, generally when the woman first appears or shortly thereafter.
		A common theme in all three conflicts, Thebes, Athens, and Troy, that Boccaccio fosters is a fundamental disproportion between the causes and the consequences of conflict.
		Additionally, he distinguishes the opposing sides of the conflict at Thebes as “the Greeks” and “the Thebans” (despite the fact that the Thebans are Greek) in imitation of the later conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans.

		The civil conflict in Sudan that took place between 1983 and 1989 is to be understood as one relatively short episode embedded in a longer episode (1956-1983) which has its roots in the colonial era — in which Egypt and Britain successively ruled the country (1825-1885 and 1885-1956).
		Episode 1: From Independence to Regime Crisis (1956-1969) (Escalation 2-4-5) The contemporary conflict in Sudan initiates in 1956 in a crisis phase when the newly independent state was “born divided” into Northern and Southern Sudanese parties (Narrative, p.
