Abstract:

Telling stories is one of the fundamental things we do as humans. Yet in
scholarship, stories considered to be “traditional”, such as myths, folk
tales, and epics, have often been analyzed separately from the narratives of
personal experience that we all tell on a daily basis. In Storytelling as
Narrative Practice, editors Elizabeth Falconi and Kathryn Graber argue that
storytelling is best understood by erasing this analytic divide. Chapter
authors carefully examine language use in-situ, drawing on in-depth knowledge
gained from long-term fieldwork, to present rich and nuanced analyses of
storytelling-as-narrative-practice across a diverse range of global contexts.
Each chapter takes a holistic ethnographic approach to show the practices,
processes, and social consequences of telling stories.
