Thank you, Paul, for another clear and well written essay. One particular phrase caught my attention, " Narrative, not just the rhetorical communications tool.." Your description of narrative as identity-based stories is clear to me, within the theory as I currently understand it, but I'm not sure how you conceptualise in contrast 'rhetorical communications tools.' Could you please expand a bit on your understanding of 'rhetorical communications tools'?
