Abstract
How might we expand the frame of health narratives so as to avoid genre calcification and more effectively harness these stories' transformative potential? This essay builds on the continued success of the "Defining Moments" forum while responding to Harter et al.'s 2020 call for "new stories shaped and shared in novel ways." Drawing on interdisciplinary research and theorizing, I suggest three narrative strategies for storytelling based on, respectively, the extended duration of a health context, the agentic power of nonhuman kinds, and the implicit collectivity of polyphonic narratives. Brief examples precede my discussion of each strategy. I invite others to join me in shaping innovative narratives that further challenge tacit assumptions of embodied health.
