{"product_id":"9781467854795","title":"Living in Spin: Narrative as a Distributed Ontology of Human Action","description":"All the hard questions about human action          are about what to include in a story,          what can be left out,          and how to characterize what gets included.      A narrative selects from all the world's motions          which ones are part of or relevant to an act,      and so narratives give us          what narratives have already shaped:          the relation is circular.      Many narratives can be told of an act,          not all consistent.      Some features of human action:      - events \"off-stage\"          determine what's happening \"on-stage\";     - many actions ''pass through'' motions in view;     - an act can be changed after the fact;     - action presupposes language;     - what an act is can be highly ambiguous;     - we judge acts (and narratives)          because we have a stake in them.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124916142320,"sku":"9781467854795","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781467854795_p0.jpg?v=1763694552","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781467854795","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
