After returning from the magical Santuario della Nebbia, I’m still full of inspiration, and eager to complete the first draft of my upcoming non-fiction book: Storytelling as a Research Method.
The Story as a Laboratory of Meaning is the heart and premise of this project. It explores storytelling not just as a craft of communication or imagination, but as a way of creating knowledge and making sense of complexity.
Today, I’m refining Chapter One: “Exploratory Storytelling.”
During my time at the Santuario della Nebbia, I wandered through misty Italian sunrises with fellow artists and researchers, exploring the idea that perception itself is our first act of storytelling, a dialogue between the world around us and the world within our mind.
The story we tell always includes us, our knowledge, culture and bias.
What does that mean for narrative researchers?
More soon!
