Storytelling

Life-history approach occupies the central place in conducting and producing (auto)biographical and (auto)ethnographic studies through the understanding of self, other, and culture. We construct and develop conceptions and practices by engaging with memory through narrative, in order to negotiate ambivalences and uncertainties of the world and to represent (often traumatic) experiences.

Telling stories about the body is loaded with ideological, political, sociological, theological, ontological and aesthetic implications. Our second global inclusive interdisciplinary conference welcomes proposals for presentations, displays, exhibits, round tables, panels, interactive workshops and other activities to stimulate engagement and discussion on any aspect of the interplay between stories and bodies.

From Climate Change, to Pandemics, Mental Health and Immigration, the Department of Theatre, Film, Television and Interactive Media at the University of York invites postgraduate researchers to submit proposals for online presentations including performances, film screenings, installations, VR and interactive experiences around the theme of global concerns. Submit your proposal by 30th April at tftipgsymposium.co.uk
