Abstract

The article examines the national narrative in historical scholarship as a narrative and interpretative model that explains the processes of formation and development of the state, the nation, the ethnic community, and national identity through a specific system of values. From a theoretical perspective, the national narrative is aimed at shaping national and historical consciousness, while from a practical perspective, it functions as an important instrument for constructing historical memory and public consciousness within the framework of the interests of the state and society. The study establishes that the source base and scientific methods applied in the study of the national narrative make it possible to identify the specific features of the formation of national history, identity, collective memory, and historical consciousness. The article comprehensively analyzes the theoretical foundations and practical manifestations of the national narrative, its connection with historical, political, and cultural factors, the specific features of its functioning in various countries, its
reflection in the education system and the digital environment, as well as its role in shaping public consciousness. Particular attention is paid to the fact that the theoretical foundation of the national narrative is formed by the categories of national consciousness, historical consciousness, historical memory, and cultural memory. The national narrative forms a shared memory that connects the past, present, and future of the nation. In this regard, historical consciousness is considered an important condition for the philosophical reinterpretation of the past and the strengthening of the spirit of independence. The article demonstrates that the historiographical approach to the national narrative involves rethinking historical events from the standpoint of national interest on the basis of source analysis and scholarly interpretations. The national narrative is presented as a system of shared representations that shape the identity of the people, their historical experience, cultural values, and collective goals, transmitted through various forms of historical narration. In the context of contemporary Kazakhstan, the national narrative is considered as a means of preserving historical memory, strengthening the ideological foundation of the state, and interpreting the path
of independence through the continuity of cultural heritage and the guidelines for future development. The study identifies the main components of the national narrative as the historical narrative, the history of statehood, key events of national history, as well as the cultural and ethnographic narrative, which includes language, traditions, worldview, and symbols. In addition, the significance of the personal dimension is emphasized, within which history is interpreted through the activities of outstanding historical figures, national heroes, and statesmen.
