Societies change; and sociology has, since its inception, described and evaluated these
changes. This article proposes a revised theory of collective learning processes, a conceptual
framework which addresses ways in which people make sense of and cope with
change. Drawing on Habermas’ classic proposal, but shifting the focus from argumentation
towards storytelling, it explains how certain articulations allow for collective
learning processes (imagining more inclusive orders), while others block learning processes
(imagining more exclusive orders). More specifically, the article points to narrative
genres (romance, tragedy, comedy and irony) which organize feelings and shape
the social bond, proposing that ironic and tragic stories have the potential to trigger
collective learning processes, while romantic and comic stories tend to block them.
