Creating Change: Integrating Narrative Research And Storytelling Practice
Storytelling pervades all spheres of life: people write their own autobiography, social media enable to share your story, art works tell a story, organizations search for their corporate story, marketeers tell stories to persuade customers in buying products, politicians use narratives to attract voters. In a high-tech society, stories seem to become even more important: technologies to record and share stories are developing quickly, whereas storytelling is also used in designing new technologies. At the same time, narrative scholars from a variety of disciplines have developed intricate theories about stories and methods to analyze them. But how can we bring practice and research together? How can we start a dialogue that mutually fertilizes practice and research? What are the conditions, ways of working and ethical issues involved in a fruitful dialogue? What is the societal and academic impact of such a dialogue?
This interdisciplinary winter school invites researchers and practitioners from the humanities, behavioral, social, and technological sciences to take stock and reflect on their work, but also to work hands-on in a design science approach. Participants prepare themselves by studying reader texts and doing homework assignments. During the winter school, they work in small groups and present their insights and findings to each other.
