p.79 We have a hard time imagining what it means to generalize narrative, although, as I have said, our
sociological ancestors were quite comfortable with it. So I think the impossibility will go away after we've tried narrative
generalization a bit and found out what it can do.
This means being pretty simpleminded at first. We can't have complex and subtle analyses
until we've had some stumbling and preliminary ones.
p.79 A social science expressed in terms of typical stories would provide far
better access for policy intervention than the present social science of variables. (Cf. Wieviorka's paper, Chapter
7 in this volume.)
