Abstract
"Narrative turn" is one of the main, along with linguistic, ontological, that occurred in the second half of the twentieth century. The consequence of the "narrative turn" was the application of the narrative approach in all areas of sociohumanitarian cognition, an expanded understanding of the narrative itself, and the impossibility of categorising narrative research. The variants of different understanding of narrative are conditioned, firstly, by the field of application: literary studies, history, sociology, psychology and others. Secondly, contentmethodological approaches: constructivist, naturalist, structuralist, poststructuralist, hermeneutic, etc. Thirdly, its application as one of the many methods of qualitative research, the main method, research principle or the recognition of the narrative paradigm. The application of a modernised version of the principle of «family resemblance» (Familienähnlichkeit, L. Wittgenstein) allows us to unite and structure the diversity of narrative research in a consistent way.
