Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

'Finalist' in the PROSE Award (2022) for Language & Linguistics
Awarded Honors at the Storytelling World Awards 2022

Linking the ongoing ecological crisis with contemporary conditions of
alienation and disenchantment in modern society, this book investigates the
capacity of oral storytelling to reconnect people to the natural world and
enchant and renew their experience of nature, place and their own existence in
the world.

Anthony Nanson offers an in-depth examination of how a diverse ecosystem of
oral stories and the dynamics of storytelling as an activity can catalyse
different kinds of conversation and motivation, helping us resist the
discourse of powerful vested interests. Detailed analysis of traditional,
true-life and fictional stories shows how spoken narrative language can imbue
landscapes, creatures and experiences with enchantment and mediate between the
inner world of consciousness and outer world of ecology and community. A
pioneering ecolinguistic and ecocritical study of oral storytelling in the
modern world, "Storytelling and Ecology" offers insight into the ways that
sharing stories in each other's embodied presence can open up spaces for
transformation in our relationships with the ecological world around us.
