14] Digital Media and Storytelling in Higher Education categories, aggregates their freguency of occurrence, and analyzes the patterns that emerge. The narrative approach includes two important elements: temporality and action (Pléh, 2003). Narration is a specific form of organization of events: some content is omitted, while other content is highlighted. Ihe narrative is thus a unigue construct, a specific self-representation which, although it is a historical and causal representation of external events, still reveals the narrators organization of content. The narrator selects only the most relevant elements from memory for the historical-logical structure of the narrative. Following this logic, the creation of narratives is not only a construction, but also a reflection and an interpretation. By examining the relationship between narrative and the narrative identity of the individual, we arrive at a philosophical approach. Ricoeur (1999) argues that one’s self-understanding is embodied in narratives - even if they are fictional. The function (and liberating power) of fictional narratives is to provide an infinite number of possibilities. Ricœur’s concept of the relationship between narrative and time leads to the idea that narrative structure provides the framework for the construction of human identity since the narrator “[...] constructs himself from the narrative’ of his own past, present and future.” (Orosz, 2003, p. 17) It is through oral or written self-narration that the narrator becomes aware of who (s)he is. The narrative identity is the life story of the narrator, which is continuously constructed from autobiographical memories until death. The themes, characters and challenges of the developmental process emerge from the socio-cultural matrix of the individual. According to Agnes Heller (2015), stories play an important role in autobiographical memory. Through narration, the consciousness of continuity is formed in the mind, and thus the ability to think in terms of temporality: the past, present and future. The sequencing of life events according to a narrative logic presupposes continuous internal interpretation and narration. This involves a process of self-interpretation, as memory fragments are arranged thematically, not by date and time. Heller highlights Proust's autobiographical novel In Search of Lost Times as an example of the strange interconnection of memory and narrative. In this case, a single memory fragment reveals a complex, non-linear narrative. The autobiographical memories of the past are constructed in the present and reflect the present. As Heller points out, the self remembering in the present is not quite the same as the self from past memories. Moreover, recollection at different points in time allows for different selves and thus different interpretations. The environment, the interlocutor or the societal expectations can also influence the interpretation of the memory and thus the structure of the narrative. The narrator tells a story both through the narration of past events and through the sharing of memories. Heller argues that in autobiographical narratives the self defines itself, narrating its journey from
