GRONINGEN WINTER SCHOOL ON NARRATIVE

TWENTE | GRONINGEN WINTER SCHOOL ON NARRATIVE

23 NOVEMBER – 25 NOVEMBER 2021

DIGITAL NARRATIVE

The theme of this year’s winter school is digital narrative. Digital technologies provide an ever more important medium for storytelling. Hence, the effects this has on the nature and quality of stories are increasingly studied. Digital technologies, like natural language processing, are also becoming more important in the analysis of stories. This interdisciplinary winter school with researchers from the humanities, behavioral, and social sciences not only takes stock, but also provides hands-on experiences in narrative analysis. Participants have to prepare themselves by studying reader texts, watching microlectures, and doing homework assignments.

The winter school is meant for PhD students, postdoc and experienced researchers who want to improve their competences in doing and understanding narrative research.

LEARNING GOALS 

At the end of the winter school, the participant is able to

·       Critically reflect on different approaches in digital narrative research;

·       Critically reflect on the influence of digitalization on storytelling;

·       Apply story line analysis to own data.

Narrative as structure and action –  rethinking master and counter-narratives

14:15–16:15 UTC+3 (summer time in Tampere)

12:15–14:15 UTC+1 (summer time in London)

Online seminar, Tampere University

 

During the last twenty years, the focus of narrative studies has moved from studying the structure of separate narrative texts to examining narration as action. The study of conversational storytelling and co-construction of meanings in talk-in-interaction together with the thriving positioning analyses provide examples of this gradual change.  The study of counter- and master narratives, however, seems to offer possibilities to study both action (telling counter-narratives) and structure (the existence of master narratives and genres) within the same analytic frame. In surveying this new field, we can ask questions such as:

  • how should the existence of master narratives be documented?
  • are master narratives primarily researcher’s (etic) or language user’s (emic) resources?
  • does the existence of a counter-narrative require explicit ‘speech act of resisting’ (Bamberg & Wippf)?
  • can we understand structures (genres and master narratives) in terms of some kind of ‘structuration,’ that is, as resulting from the previous narrative and other action?
  • what is the relationship between genres and master narratives?

You are welcome to discuss these and other related issues on April 19., at 14:00 –16:00 UTC+3 (summer time in Tampere), 12:00 – 14:00 UTC+1 (summer time in London)
