Once upon a time before words were written, before cultures and societies were observed and analyzed there was storytelling. Storytelling has been a part of humanity since people were able to communicate and respond to the basic biological urge to explain, educate and enlighten. Cave drawings, traditional dances, poems, songs, and chants are all examples of early storytelling. Stories pass on historical, cultural, and moral information and provide escape and relief from the everyday struggle to survive. Storytelling takes place in all cultures in a variety of different forms. Studying these forms requires an interdisciplinary approach involving anthropology, psychology, linguistics, history, library science, theater, media studies and other related disciplines. New technologies and new approaches have brought about a renewed interest in the varied aspects and elements of storytelling, broadening our understanding and appreciation of its complexity. What is Storytelling? Defining storytelling is not a simple matter. Scholars from a variety of disciplines, professional and amateur storytellers, and members of the communities where the stories dwell have not come to a consensus on what defines storytelling.

  • What Is Folk Music? Dave Spalding's Discussion Paper
    WHAT IS FOLK MUSIC? Throughout the weekend of the Society’s 1987 Annual General Meeting in Quebec City, there was considerable discussion among the Directors o f major policy concerns within the CFMS. This discussion returned again and again to how (or even, whether) folk music should be defined. Accordingly, a committee was formed to look into the question of defining folk music, particularly with regard to the Society’s policies. Due to many exigencies, the committee was unable to meet face-to-face and a a whole during the year, but fortunately David Spalding prepared and distributed a discussion paper, to which a number of the committee's members responded in writing. It was decided to publish both Spalding’s paper and the responses in the Journal, which because of the length and nature of the submissions seemed the most appropriate vehicle for sharing these concerns. When the committee was originally formed, it was emphasized that issues surrounding the definition of folk music were not temporary but rather ongoing for the Society, and that some clear direction was desirable as a basis for framing the Society’s policies. In this spirit, the following discussion paper by David Spalding and the three responses (by Anne Lederman, Ken Persson, and Jay Rahn) are offered to our readership. DAVE SPALDING’S DISCUSSION PAPER Introduction At the Quebec meeting, the board spent a lot of time discussing “what is folk music?” Some members felt that to develop a definition that could be widely accepted by the society would help in dealing with the prob­ lems of the society; others felt that development of a definition was not either possible or of practical assistance, but that it was an interesting question and that CFMS should continue to provide a forum in which such questions could be discussed.

Narratives in the social sciences, particularly those elicited through biographical interviews, have become the preferred method of data collection for researchers interested in identity and the connections between structure and agency (e.g. Block, 2006). The idea is that identity can be explored through the stories we tell about ourselves, tapping into the accounts that individuals select, structure and relate at appropriate moments. The underlying emphasis is on reflexivity and the belief that storytelling is an active process of summation, where we re-present a particular aspect of our lives. Giddens (1991) argues that self and reflexivity are interwoven so that identity is not the possession of particular character traits, but the ability to construct a reflexive narrative of the self.

  • Storytelling by Olivier Serrat
    Knowledge October 2008 | 10 Solutions Storytelling by Olivier Serrat Definition Storytelling is the vivid description of ideas, beliefs, personal Storytelling is experiences, and life-lessons through stories or narratives the use of stories that evoke powerful emotions and insights. or narratives as a communication Advantages tool to value, share, Storytelling has advantages over the communication tech- and capitalize on niques commonly used in organizations, be they electronic the knowledge of mail, reports, or formal speeches. First, it enables articula- individuals. tion of emotional aspects as well as factual content, allow- ing expression of tacit knowledge (that is always difficult to convey). Second, by providing the broader context in which knowledge arises, it increases the potential for meaningful knowledge-sharing. Third, by grounding facts in a narrative structure, it augments the likelihood that learning will take place and be passed on. Pur- poseful storytelling can deliver results that conventional, abstract modes of communica- tions such as those mentioned earlier cannot. Anyone can use it and become better at using it to reach many rapidly. Communicating Naturally The age-old practice of storytelling is one of the most effective tools that people can use. Storytellers communicate naturally: analysis might excite the mind but it does not offer an easy route to the heart, which is where one must go to motivate people. Working with stories is one of the best ways to • Make abstract concepts meaningful. • Help connect people and ideas. • Inspire imagination and motivate action. • Give breathing space and allow different perspectives to emerge. • Create sense, coherence, and meaning. • Develop valuable descriptions of the situations in which knowledge is applied and solutions are found.

  • Philosophy of Action and Theory of Narrative1
    PHILOSOPHY OF ACTION AND THEORY OF NARRATIVE1 TEUN A. VAN DIJK 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The aim of this paper is to apply some recent results from the philosophy of action in the theory of narrative. The intuitive idea is that narrative discourse may be conceived of as a form of natural action description, whereas a philosophy or, more specifically, a logic of action attempts to provide formal action descriptions. It is expected that, on the one hand, narrative discourse is an interesting empirical testing ground for the theory of action, and that, on the other hand, formal action description may yield insight into the abstract structures of narratives in natural language. It is the latter aspect of this interdisciplinary inquiry which will be em- phasized in this paper. 1.2. If there is one branch of analytical philosophy which has received particular at- tention in the last ten years it certainly is the philosophy of action. Issued from classical discussions in philosophical psychology (Hobbes, Hume) the present analy- sis of action finds applications in the foundations of the social sciences, 2 in ethics 3 1This paper has issued from a seminar held at the University of Amsterdam in early 1974. Some of the ideas developed in it have been discussed in lectures given at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (Paris), Louvain, Bielefeld, Münster, Ann Arbor, CUNY (New York) and Ant- werp, in 1973 and 1974. A shorter version of this paper has been published as Action, Action Description and Narrative in New literary history 6 (1975): 273-294.

  • Narrative in Culture: the Uses of Storytelling in the Sciences
    WARWICK STUDIES IN PHILOSOPHY AND LITERATURE General editor: David Wood In both philosophical and literary studies much of the best original work today explores both the tensions and the intricate connections between what have often been treated as separate fields. In philosophy there is a widespread conviction that the notion of an unmediated search for truth represents an over- simplification of the philosopher’s task, and that the language of philosophical argument requires its own interpretation. Even in the most rigorous instances of the analytic tradition, a tradition inspired by the possibilities of formalization and by the success of the natural sciences, we find demands for ‘clarity’, for ‘tight’ argument, and distinctions between ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ proofs which call out for a rhetorical reading—even for an aesthetic of argument. In literature many of the categories presupposed by traditions which give priority to ‘enactment’ over ‘description’ and oppose ‘theory’ in the name of ‘lived experience’ are themselves under challenge as requiring theoretical analysis, while it is becoming increasingly clear that to exclude literary works from philosophical probing is to trivialize many of them. Further, modern literary theory necessarily looks to philosophy to articulate its deepest problems and the effects of this are transmitted in turn to critical reading, as the widespread influence of deconstruction and of a more reflective hermeneutics has begun to show. When one recalls that Plato, who wished to keep philosophy and poetry apart, actually unified the two in his own writing, it is clear that the current upsurge of interest in this field is only re-engaging with the questions alive in the broader tradition.

  • Interfilk Songbook.Pdf
    Introduction Ten years is a pretty worthy kind of anniversary to celebrate. It hasn't been ten years since Interfilk was first thought of that's even longer. And it hasn't been ten years since Interfilk came into existence — also longer. But it has been ten years since the very first Interfilk guest, Mike Whitaker, was sent to a convention. That convention was Consonance in 1992. Now, for the release of this songbook we travel ten years in time to Consonance 2002, and celebrate ten full years of raising funds, finding and selecting worthy guests, and arranging for them to go to a fill( convention far from their home. It hardly seems possible that so much has happened. rmi The first few years were lean ones, with Interfilk having only sufficient funds to send one or two guests a year. Does anyone recollect when Interfilk became an accepted part of the filk community and Interfilk auctions became an event to not miss? I remember when it happened at FilKONtario: It was 1993 and Michael Longcor took on the job of auctioneer with Mary Ellen Wessels ad libbing the role of auction wench. None of the auctions were tame after that. We're certainly glad you enjoy them. Interfilk is absolutely dependant on the generosity of the filk community for survival. The conventions have been incredibly cooperative, giving us table space and program time to run our little auction. They have taken our Interfilk guests to heart and treated them royally. We've had so much help at these events, with folks like Steve Simmons, Bill Roper, John Hall, Mark Bernstein, Michael Longcor, Nick Smith and our own Bill Sutton lending their talents at the auctioneer's position.
