Here it is “The Fiction Field Lab” finally on paper. Most of it was written somewhere outside (testing the method): on Italian mountains, in Berlin cafés, and now, back in Rotterdam, it’s time to enjoy the rewriting and fine-tuning phase.
I’m still searching for the right subtitle. Which one speaks to you most?
The Fiction Field Lab:
- Narrative Thinking as a Creative Research Practice
- When Storytelling Becomes Research
- Discovering Meaning Through Narrative Thinking
- An Investigative Journey Through Curiosity, Reflection, and Imagination
- Where Stories Become Tools for Research and Narrative Thinking
Pitch
The Fiction Field Lab is a research method that explores complex questions and systems through storytelling. Instead of treating stories only as objects of analysis, participants step directly into the narrative field – disrupting plots, shifting perspectives, and expanding worlds to understand how meaning is constructed.
It is a space where analysis and intuition meet, where creativity and reflection coexist, and where meaning is discovered through active and sometimes even poetic experimentation.
Storytelling becomes a tool for understanding the systems that shape us – and, perhaps even more importantly, for imagining new ones.
