This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. Storytelling has always played a central role in the formation of cultures and communities. All cultures define themselves and their place in the world through their stories. Similarly, our identities are largely constructed as narratives, and it is with the aid of storytelling that we manage to conceive of ourselves – our selves – as meaningful wholes. Thus, storytelling is not ever absent: it is to be found in literature, social life, in the places we visit and the buildings we live in. This volume presents storytelling in various appearances: from ancient myths and oral history, to transmedia narratives and digital stories. Different forms of narrative are analysed, as is the use of storytelling as a method for e.g. counselling, education and research. Throughout twenty-five chapters, a compelling overview of recent research on the topic is provided, both stressing the omnipresence of storytelling and exploring what storytelling is and isn’t.
This volume presents a project of empirical research on issues of theology, sexuality, and reproductive health and rights. It was carried out by researchers from two theological institutions in Brazil and Colombia in close contact with the grassroots in various civil-society organizations. Numerous studies at twenty-six Latin American institutions on the relation between theology and HIV/AIDS prepared the way for this project. It promotes and applies methodologies for Latin American popular education and participatory action research (PAR). While the project was finalized long before the COVID-19 pandemic hit Latin America and the world, the pandemic gave fresh evidence of the relevance of the project. The present volume is the English translation of the initial Portuguese and Spanish reports about the project, enriched with a new preface. The editors are delighted that this translation will help spread the vital insights from this research to a wider and global readership.
Os textos que compõem o livro resultam de pesquisas e ações que concebem a narrativa como dispositivo textual, sonoro e imagético. De modo geral, estes trabalhos estão vinculados a diferentes grupos de pesquisa que se articulam em redes nacionais e internacionais, intercambiando dimensões teórico-metodológicas no âmbito da pesquisa (auto)biográfica. Organizam-se em três eixos temáticos que tomam como centralidade discussões sobre redes de pesquisa e tramas (auto)biográficas, em movimentos de grupos de pesquisa que dialogam no seu interior, no espaço acadêmico ou mesmo por meio de coletivos de docentes narradores e contadores de histórias de vida-pesquisa-formação.
La crise environnementale, le conflit ukrainien aux portes de l'Europe, la précarisation sociale ou sanitaire accentuée par la pandémie de la Covid19 ont engendré ces dernières années une cascade d'évènements anxiogènes qui mettent en lumière l'impact des activités humaines sur la planète et les risques qui lui sont inhérents. Si certains invoquent la notion d'anthropocène pour mettre en perspective cette problématique, cette préoccupation n'est toutefois pas une nouveauté. D'André Gorz à Edgard Morin en passant par Jacques Ellul ou Bruno Latour, récemment disparu, quelques chercheurs et intellectuels précurseurs s'étaient déjà appliqués, dès les années 1960, à établir une corrélation entre une humanité prédatrice et son écosystème fragile.
The approach to the theme of the body within the framework of phenomenology is developed in 20th century France. Despite the evident Cartesianism, it is there that the principles of a phenomenology of the body are configured, in the confluence between the phenomenological tradition and the philosophy of existence. The systematic development of the phenomenology of the body, which takes centered reflection on the corporeal existence and the incarnated subject, corresponds, among others, to Gabriel Marcel, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Bernhard Waldenfels. The phenomenology of the body opens a new horizon to understand the corporeal dimension of human existence and offers a new p...
A Aventura (Auto)Biográfica: Teoria e Empiria (ABRAHÃO, 2004) nasceu pelo desejo de pesquisadores do país e do exterior de elaborar textos para uma obra conjunta no intuito de adensar a reflexão sobre fundamentos e práticas da pesquisa (auto)biográfica, em especial no contexto das Ciências Humanas.Tanto no Tomo II como no Tomo III, os textos consistem em uma narrativa da trajetória intelectual de diferentes autores brasileiros e de outros países conhecidos no mundo acadêmico, em que a tônica foi o tempo da primeira para a nova aventura.Naturalmente, o epistemológico da pesquisa (auto)biográfica e, nesse âmbito, as narrativas de formação e de profissionalidade estão presentes. Os autores realizaram uma narrativa pessoal/profissional que evidencia, nos textos dos Tomos II e III dessa nova aventura, a aplicação de um olhar histórico/reflexivo a respeito dos próprios modos e percursos do pensamento na construção de conhecimento presente na (re)invenção de si, mediante a própria biografização, razão do interesse que a presente obra certamente despertará nos demais colegas que exercem a docência e pesquisam na área da formação humana.
