Abstract. The
basic notion of narrative
is based on
verbal discourse the study of which has prevailed
in psychological research.
Monuments, music, drawing,
and painting
have also been recognized as narratives. Lanaridis
(2017) discusses music as
narrative, reaching beyond traditional boundaries
of psychology within which
human experience is considered, and exploring new
possibilities for the
empirical research on the Self. While Lanaridis
focuses on the reasons, level, and
extent
of the narrative capacity of music in the context
of a contemporary society
within the framework of Social
Representation, Social Identity and Dialogical Self Theory, we discuss the particular issue of
using non-verbal
expressive
artifacts to deal empirically with psychological
phenomena.
