Edward M. Bruner

Edward M. Bruner was a renowned anthropologist and cultural theorist known for studying how stories and narratives shape human understanding and cultural identity. He believed that storytelling is a fundamental way people make sense of their world, communicate values, and build community. Bruner's work emphasizes that culture is transmitted and preserved through stories, rituals, and symbols, serving as a mirror and a map of social life. His insights help us appreciate how people's narratives influence their perceptions, relationships, and societal structures across different cultures.
