I am currently doing research -- in a still very preliminary fashion -- for an article on the origin and the current use of the beltway think-tank buzzword, "narrative."
My very tentative thoughts about this term is that it seems to be a convenient, meant-to-be persuasive replacement for "actually" telling the truth. In other words, it's not the "story" in itself, but how/why it's told, that really counts in "hardball" politics/foreign affairs.
If you have any thoughts about this linguistic/political phenomenon, I would much appreciate your sharing them at john.h30@gmailcom.
Best, john
BTW, The rampant use of this word is evident from a Google search:
