It’s story time…
We tell, listen, and engage with stories at bedtime, in scholarly articles,
when fighting, when flirting, while selling things or ideas, and in so many
other occasions. Stories formulate versions of reality and persuade others
and ourselves.
We invite articles, research notes, and biographical essays that reflect on
how we do things with stories in various places and times, paying attention
to their productive and transformative power when applied to people,
things, relationships, and time, among others.
Authors may address some of the following questions and related topics of
interest:
- How do people use stories in interaction, and to what effect?
How are stories useful for managing social situations, in various
institutional settings – from doctor-patient interactions to sales or job
interviews and Facebook posts?
- How do stories transform things, granting them added power or
diminishing their force? When and to what effect do people tell stories
about objects?
- How do we use stories as resources for other creations, from
scientific articles to digital games?
- Last but not least, what do we accomplish, as scholars, by
minding stories, inciting them, analyzing them, and using them to organize
scientific accounts?
