Storytelling: Global Reflections on Narrative
9th Global Meeting
Call for Participation 2016
Sunday 10th July - Tuesday 12th July 2016
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom
Earlier meetings of the Storytelling: global reflections on narrative
project have brought together participants with both personal and
professional interests in the unique role that storytelling plays
throughout our lives. We have been challenged by philosophers, literary
theorists, artists, psychologists, playwrights, storytellers, film makers,
historians, teachers, psychotherapists, nurses and many others, into
reflecting on the place that story plays in our lives and the ways in which
we consciously and unconsciously employ it. We have also been engaged,
entertained and challenged by traditional storytellers from Ireland, New
Zealand, Canada, the Philippines, India and elsewhere as well as by
theatrical and musical performances, digital stories, films and performance
art.
For our ninth global meeting we invite participants to continue to reflect
on and celebrate story in challenging ways.
Human life is conducted through story, because the telling of stories comes
naturally to us. Almost every time we speak we engage in storytelling, and
sharing stories is arguably the most important way we have of communicating
with others about who we are and what we believe; about what we are doing
and have done; about our hopes and fears; about what we value and what we
don't. We make sense of our lives by telling stories about them; and we
learn about other people by listening to the stories they tell. Sometimes,
under the influence of the culture in which we are immersed, we live our
lives in ways that try to create the stories we want to be able to tell
about them.
The importance of the stories we tell and the stories we hear is recognized
in every culture. The work of many professions, including medicine,
nursing, teaching, the law, psychotherapy and counselling, involves a great
deal of time listening to and communicating through stories. Story is a
powerful tool for teachers, because by telling stories they can help
students to integrate what they are learning with what they already know,
by placing what they learn in a context that makes it easy to recall. Story
also plays an important role in academic disciplines like philosophy,
theology, anthropology, archaeology and history as well as literature
Narrative methods for the collection of data are increasingly used in
research in the social sciences and humanities, where the value of getting
to know people in a more intimate and less distant way - almost as if we
are getting to know them from the inside, is increasingly valued, and
academics in many disciplines have begun to realise the value of
storytelling as a model for academic writing.
Abstracts are invited for contributions that address any aspect of story or
narrative, including, for example:
• Story as a pedagogical and research tool in academic disciplines such
as history; anthropology, psychology, theology, cultural theory, medicine,
law, philosophy, education, archaeology; the physical sciences and
archaeology.
• Narrative and the gathering of stories of lived experience, as a
research approach in any area of professional and public life, including
academic disciplines such as those listed above.
• The place of story and storytelling in the practice of journalism;
conflict resolution; architecture; religion; tourism, politics and the law,
and in clinical contexts such as medicine, psychotherapy, nursing and
counselling; personal relations and advertising..
• Story's place in culture, including theatre; cinema; music, including
opera, folk music and popular music; literature, including poetry, short
stories and graphic novels.
• The place of storytelling in the digital age, including digital
storytelling; forms of storytelling in social media; and computer gaming.
We especially welcome abstracts from those who bring together reflections
from both professional and personal perspectives. Abstracts that address
the interdisciplinary potential of storytelling, both as an approach to a
wide range of topics and as a means for communication between colleagues
from different academic disciplines and professions, are also warmly
welcomed.
