Abstract:Stories offer time and space for connection. This has been particularly true during social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In this collective autoethnographic story, we explore how generative energies of storytelling and storylistening emerge within communities via virtual storytelling. With COVID-19 being a catalyst for change, we share our adaptation of the Storyscope Project story circles to facilitate connection through a virtual space. Our stories within this work reflect our experience of virtual Storyscope in the roles of host, facilitator, participant, and educator. Additionally, the collaborative process of our writing mirrors the unfolding of virtual Storyscope story circles. In other words, the practices of virtual storytelling and storylistening guided our inquiry and evolving discussion of a similarly evolving practice.

Abstract:The impact of social media on psychological well-being is usually investigated through survey-based studies of the mass effects of its use. This article offers an alternative perspective by exploring individuals' narratives of their own well-being, arising from interviews about one seemingly simple, mundane digital practice: photo-a-day. These stories showed how people saw that they could shape their own well-being gradually through the way that sharing a photo each day reconfigured routines, brought them to notice new things, and connected them to others in new ways. The effect was complex and largely unintended. This reflected their sophisticated understanding of well-being as an elusive, complex practical accomplishment. The article reflects on how well-being can be understood as accomplished within social practices by the spreading of meaning.

Abstract:The therapeutic potential of stories and the interpersonal connections created during storytelling are often encapsulated in the image of a storytelling circle. This resonates with the two key characteristics of the CHIME model of mental health recovery, “meaning” and “connection” (Leamy et al.). Based on an experience of facilitating multiple interactions between trainee storytellers and local organizations, this article proposes a third, equally characteristic side of the storytelling craft, its roving side. Like Walter Benjamin's idea of the “sailor storyteller,” this aspect encompasses the often risky and adventurous physical and social journeys storytellers undertake to discover, research, and experiment with new material.

Abstract:The aim of this article is to explore the effect of some common involvement strategies employed by storytellers on the dynamics of the storytelling event. Specifically, the way in which the competence to tell a story can be shared between teller and audience. Starting from a perspective that storytelling performances are innately theatrical, the sign systems (semiotic channels) that facilitate communication between teller and spectator are considered with reference to a case study of a single storytelling performance. Several involvement strategies are exemplified in the case study, and the effect of these on the competences that both storyteller and audience bring to the event (as those who produce and comprehend oral narrative), and the roles that they inhabit, are analyzed.

Abstract:This article illuminates how the stories that we tell and retell to understand ourselves, others, and our cultural positions are forever vulnerable to change. It traces a narrative researcher's experience conducting open-ended interviews with elders in the beginning stages of memory loss, through a combination of field notes, performance of personal narrative analysis, and autoethnography. In addition to grappling with her own inevitable physical vulnerability, three participants’ narratives challenged three familiar personal stories that she retells to make sense of my past, present, and future relationships. The article closes with a call to embrace the vulnerability of stories to change, leaving us forever open to new possibilities, connections, and understandings of what it means to be human with others.

Abstract:This article examines the goals, structure, and timeline of the intergenerational ensemble-based theater project, Once In My LIFE, which occurred at the University of Central Florida (UCF). It provides a brief rationale of the potential benefits for undergraduate students (ages eighteen to twenty-two) and students from the UCF's Learning Institute for Elders (ages fifty+) and analyzes the ways diverse disciplines such as music, personal narrative, digital projections, and theater influenced the process. Case studies of participant experience are additionally presented. Throughout this article, the authors address the following questions: How did Once In My LIFE meet the project aims to share stories, celebrate life, and build a bridge between the two demographics? What challenges or opportunities arose during the project?

Abstract:This conceptual article uses storytelling for the intellectual work of contesting (and rewriting) unjust canonical stories about education, transforming both the self and oppressive social structures. It builds from original fictional stories: a fairy tale and a trickster tale. These stories apply academic concepts (e.g., genre); question underlying assumptions; link personal stories to larger systemic narratives; and retell stories so as to transform the educational narratives we live. Potentially, transformative storytelling asks teachers and students to take risks, to involve emotion, imagination, and creativity, and to work communally to rewrite oppressive narratives. Lastly, the article outlines pedagogical storytelling activities (story-sharing, word or story games, and stories from multiple perspectives) that offer opportunities to retell or think with narrative.
