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.

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.
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.
