Education and Narration: the metaphorical language in the construction of inclusive experiences

Narration represents the interpretive key to human existence, prefiguring itself as the mental dimension par excellence. Metaphor and narration are the catalyst agents of mental representations and for this reason, becoming effective methodological devices of investigation and intervention in educational action, it is important not to neglect the representations and linguistic structures through which meanings themselves are expressed. This contribution intends to reflect on the inclusive value of metaphorical language within educational experiences and on the possible didactic implications of using literature and theatre in pedagogical practices.
