<div style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><span style="font-size:10pt"><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif">My co-editor Elizabeth Falconi and I are completing a volume for publication with Brill, entitled
</font><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><em>The Tales We Tell: Storytelling and Narrative Practice</em></font><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif">, for which we seek additional relevant work. This volume considers storytelling as a diverse set of narrative practices
by which the circulations of linguistic, social, and cultural resources are enabled or obstructed. Stories, and the way they are told, enacted, or written, are a means of linguistic possibility and of linguistic constraint. They may illustrate through allegory
some kind of moral ideal, but they also show what should </font><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><em>not
</em></font><font style="" face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif">be done. Recent research has brought our attention to how stories and storytelling become the focus of larger ideological struggles in terms of “generic regimentation” (Briggs 1993; Bauman 2004; Kroskrity
2009a, 2009b). Genres of storytelling emerge out of the repeated production and reproduction of narrative forms, which gain linguistic and social authority over time. This volume build<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif">s
upon and extends this body of scholarship by investigating a set of specific examples of the regimentation of genre in action. Chapters foreground stories to consider how, as different linguistic resources and repertoires circulate among speakers of a language
(or languages), the intertextual relations between those resources and repertoires constrain, direct, or regiment their further use.</span></span></font></span></div>

While all of the chapters deal with issues central to ongoing discussions in linguistic anthropology, the authors come from and engage with a variety of disciplines and subfields, including communication studies, media studies</span></span>, conversation and
discourse analysis, folklore, indigenous studies, sociocultural anthropology, and medical anthropology.</font><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif"> Collectively, we seek to answer the question: What is at stake in a story?</font><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif">

<div style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif">We would like to round out the volume with an additional two chapters. In keeping with the book's goal of examining stories and narratives across
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">genres, we are especially interested in papers that deal centrally with narratives of personal experience,
</span></font><font style="color:rgb(0,0,0)" face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">such as life histories</span></span></font><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">. If you are working
on something in this vein or have recently completed a paper that you think might be a good fit, we are interested in
</span>hearing from you.</font></div>

<div style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif">This volume is on a compressed timeline (meaning that your chapter would also see the light of day more quickly), so if you are interested in joining the project, we ask that you submit
an initial abstract by </font><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><strong>Friday, December 4</strong></font><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif">. Your complete chapter draft would be due </font><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif"><strong>January 15, 2016</strong></font><font face="Helvetica,Sans-Serif">.
Please submit abstracts directly to editors Elizabeth Falconi and Kate Graber at graberk@indiana.edu.</font></div>
