"Desde el comienzo de su pontificado, Francisco ha enfatizado que no hay futuro sin un enraizamiento en la historia vivida. En su mensaje para la Jornada Mundial de las Comunicaciones de este año, resalta aún más la importancia de la herencia de la memoria y la historia también en la comunicaci

n. El tema elegido por el papa es: “‘Para que puedas contar y grabar en la memoria’ (Ex 10, 2). La vida hace historia”. Relación, narración, memoria e historia son los grandes ejes que conforman el horizonte comunicacional del mensaje papal. “El ser humano es un narrador”, afirma el papa. Él necesita “tejer” historias, “’revestirse’” de historias”, para cuidar y guardar la propia vida. La propia palabra “texto”, de hecho, proviene del latín “textus”, que significa precisamente tejido. Ser es tejer relaciones y sentidos. En los últimos años, gracias a la digitalización, la narración de hechos e historias va ganando importantes avances. Hoy podemos hablar de “narrativas transmedia”, es decir, de una “estrategia narrativa que, además de exandir los mundos ficticios en diferentes medios y plataformas, también da importancia a la participación de los fanáticos en esta expansión”, como afirma Carlos Scolari, investigador en Comunicación y profesor de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). Para la construcción de estas narrativas, se utilizan varios medios y plataformas socio-digitales, que se articulan para contar una misma historia, pero que, al mismo tiempo, se desarrolla en varias historias paralelas, como libros, películas, juegos, historias en cómics, sitios web, videos, blogs, redes sociales digitales, etc. En otras palabras, la misma idea de narrativa se desvincula cada vez más de una cierta “matriz escritural”, reinventándose en los diferentes lenguajes y potencialidades abiertos por la digitalización y la conectividad."

"In the formative evaluation, church data from the retrospective baseline showed that after being exposed to the “What’s Your Story?” methodology by Heartlines, 42% of respondents had engaged in further intentional storytelling with others. In comparison to this, in the summative evaluation, a
...
full 80% of respondents reported that they had engaged in further storytelling processes with others. This increased likelihood of someone adopting the WYS approach amongst respondents that were introduced to WYS in the period after the formative evaluation can, in part, be explained by the issue of ‘dosage.’ That is, the level of exposure that the respondent had to WYS at the point of being introduced to it. In the formative evaluation, 56% of respondents had medium to high dosage. In the summative evaluation, however, this had increased to 84%. These findings provide evidence that the greater the exposure to WYS when it is introduced to participants, the greater the likelihood that it will be taken up as a methodology that participants then introduce to others. This finding also suggests that Heartlines took on board the recommendation in the formative report to support higher dosage options. Workplace data were only collected once, during the formative evaluation of WYS in churches. Of these workplace respondents, 48,5% reported that they had gone on to adopt the WYS approach and the issue of ‘dosage’ was also an important factor in determining who chose to adopt the WYS methodology. Once individuals have adopted the WYS methodology, the evidence suggests that the vast majority repeat the methodology more than once and that those who are exposed to it cascade it even further into their homes, neighbourhoods, workplaces and communities. The findings also give strong evidence for positive changes as a result of being exposed to WYS. These are found at the level of the individual, within churches, workplaces or other organisations, and beyond these organisations into the wider community." (Executive summary)

"Die vorliegende Masterarbeit versuchte in einem Experiment herauszufinden, wie das journalistische Storytelling in dokumentarischen Filmformaten eingesetzt wird. Es konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass alle drei analysierten Filme sich einer alternativen Erzählkategorie zuordnen lassen und jeweils spe

zifische filmische Mittel einsetzen, um dem Zuschauer das Gezeigte noch eindrücklicher zu schildern. Darüber hinaus stellen alle drei Beispiele ein Gegennarrativ zur aktuellen Medienberichterstattung über Migration und Flucht dar. Sie zeigen die Situationen von ausgewählten Geflüchteten und machen darauf aufmerksam, wie gefährlich und risikobehaftet eine Flucht ist. Sie berichten abseits des gegenwärtigen Narrativs und vermitteln dem Zuschauer dabei auf innovative Weise einen neuen Zugang und Einblick in diesen Themenbereich.
In einem nächsten Forschungsschritt wäre es angebracht, aus medienkulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive zu schauen, ob sich ein solcher narrativer Wandel in den berichtenden Medien im Print- und Rundfunkjournalismus etabliert und ob sie die Flüchtenden auch in den Fokus ihrer Berichterstattung setzen. Generell eignet sich das Thema Migration und Flucht sehr gut für eine Diskursanalyse. Hier könnte der Wandel des Narrativs vor, während und nach der Zäsur 2015 erforscht werden."

ways that digital stories have – and have not – been listened to in the past. The authors expose the great potential as well as the complexity of using powerful personal stories in practice. Together, the case studies highlight that processes of listening to, learning from, and making use of digital stories involve unavoidable processes of reinterpretation, recontextualisation, and translation which have significant ethical and political implications for storytellers, listeners, and society."

"The Panguna Listening Project (PLP) is an initiative of the Catholic Diocese of Bougainville (DOB), led by Bishop Bernard Unabali seeking to make the voices of the people heard and making the people safe in the Panguna mine-affected areas. It is a neutral project and does not take a position on the

future of mining in Bougainville [...] Developing from the Bishop’s interest in supporting communities in the mine-affected communities, community consultations were held to engage further input. An initial 2-day scoping meeting was held at Tunuru Mission Station in 2017 and key stakeholders and local members were invited to discuss the potential of PLP. Based on the positive feedback funding support was sought by the Diocese of Bougainville from Misereor e V. from Germany. To launch PLP, a Stakeholder meeting was held at Manetai Mission Station in May 2018, led by Bishop Bernard Unabali and Project Manager Bonaventure Kenulei, bringing together stakeholders and community members to provide project information as well as to engage in collaborative planning. This book outlines the responses and comments from community members in the first two stages of PLP. It documents the main themes from the community data and meaningful comments from the Listening team from their experiences of listening to conversations in the mine-affected communities. It also includes individual stories and photos from the Panguna mine-affected communities which were collected through community "storytelling sessions." (Introduction, page 6)

"A personal relationship with God is central to Evangelical belief. It unfolds as believers interpret internal sensations as coming from outside—from God. How does the formulaic design of testimonies present the audience with a personal relationship with God as a pursuit that is both feasible and

deeply desirable? Analyzing the discursive rules structuring the appearance of emotion in the most popular testimonies on the online platform of 'Christianity Today' reveals that such texts expertly present a microcosm in which the experience of reading mirrors the trajectory toward belief writers describe. To read a testimony from start to finish, readers must choose to tolerate the unfamiliar: that is, feel emotions that specifically belong in an Evangelical frame. Online written testimony relies on compelling storytelling to move readers, making them practise what it feels like to hand over part of one’s own story to God." (Abstract)

"Beim Stichwort „mündliches Erzählen“ denkt man hierzulande vor allem an „Märchen“, kurze und wundersame Erzählungen der Landbevölkerung vergangener Zeiten. Tatsächlich aber kannten alle Kulturen raffinierte Erzählkünste, die häufig auch Schriftliteratur und Theater inspirierten. Au

s historischen Berichten über Erzähler und ihre Auftritte, ethnologischen Forschungen und nicht zuletzt durch zahlreiche Erzählungen der verschiedenen Kulturen entsteht eine ebenso informative wie vergnügliche Kulturgeschichte des mündlichen Erzählens. Die bezeichnenden Formen und Funktionen der vielfältigen Erzähltraditionen ergeben ein schillerndes Bild der Kommunikationsform „Erzählen“: die Interaktion zwischen Erzähler und Hörern in den Dörfern Afrikas etwa, die Improvisationstechnik der Epenerzähler Mittelasiens oder die Unterschiede zwischen männlichem und weiblichem Erzählen im islamischen Orient. Öffentliches Erzählen diente stets auch der Verständigung über Werte und Einstellungen. Die modernen Massenmedien können den interagierenden Erzähler nicht ersetzen, was verständlich macht, warum dieses „Urmedium“ neuerdings auch in der „Mediengesellschaft“ wieder eine überraschende Faszination ausübt."
