Read Digital Storytelling Mediatized Stories Selfrepresentations in New Media Digital Formations Knut Lundby 9781433102738 Books


Recent years have seen amateur personal stories, focusing on «me», flourish on social networking sites and in digital storytelling workshops. The resulting digital stories could be called «mediatized stories». This book deals with these self-representational stories, aiming to understand the transformations in the age-old practice of storytelling that have become possible with the new, digital media. Its approach is interdisciplinary, exploring how the mediation or mediatization processes of digital storytelling can be grasped and offering a sociological perspective of media studies and a socio-cultural take of the educational sciences. Aesthetic and literary perspectives on narration as well as questioning from an informatics perspective are also included.

"If you are an educator or multimedia developer with an interest in digital storytelling, this may not be the book for you. It won't give you much guidance on how to lead others in telling personal stories through screen media. If, however, you are a scholar interested in theory and research on the reciprocal relationship between communications media and the authoring and interpretation of narratives, or the function of digital storytelling for the storytellers, this is the best book available on the topic.
The book is an edited anthology of 16 chapters held together fairly well by a focus on digital storytelling and "mediatization", theorizing the relationship between media and social practice. The authors begin with Digital Storytelling as developed by Lambert and the Center for Digital Storytelling at Berkeley, but expanded to include large-scale undertakings like the BBC's Telling Lives and Capture Wales projects, and Australia's efforts to bring digital storytelling into schools. Attention is also paid to the general and unorganized distribution of narratives through Web 2.0. There are some familiar US contributors (Glynda Hull, James Wertsch), but most of the authors are from Scandinavia, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and they bring perspectives of media theorists together with cultural psychologists. Together, they invigorate thinking about the implications of digital narratives by ordinary people."
