This article is an exploratory contribution to the discourse suggesting how fictional narratives, low in external realism but eliciting a high degree of transportation and identification in audiences, may be useful tools for P/CVE campaigns built on narratives and storytelling. It discusses the importance of transportation, identification, and perceived realism for narrative persuasion as well as the possibility to use fictional utopian narratives in P/CVE campaigns."

"Storytelling is the most powerful way for donor and non-governmental organisations to convey their work because stories allow audiences to connect on both intellectual and emotional levels. However, much of the storytelling about development work in Africa is unethical and perpetuates harmful and s

tereotypical narratives about the continent. Stories that reinforce stereotypes about Africa often arise from the power dynamics between those who are telling the stories and those about whom stories are being told. This practical guide aims to address some of these issues by providing practical, ethical guidelines for storytellers to share their work on the continent [...] This handbook considers the challenges of ethical storytelling and provides practical examples of how difficulties might be overcome. It looks at all the stages of the storytelling process: conceptualising a project, planning, gathering material, producing a draft, gathering feedback on it, and producing a final version before disseminating it. As part of the process of developing this handbook, we reviewed 36 academic papers and books chapters covering the subject. We also interviewed eight African storytellers, including filmmakers, photographers, radio producers and writers who were researching and producing material about Africa for an international audience or for donor agencies."

zifische filmische Mittel einsetzen, um dem Zuschauer das Gezeigte noch eindrücklicher zu schildern. Darüber hinaus stellen alle drei Beispiele ein Gegennarrativ zur aktuellen Medienberichterstattung über Migration und Flucht dar. Sie zeigen die Situationen von ausgewählten Geflüchteten und machen darauf aufmerksam, wie gefährlich und risikobehaftet eine Flucht ist. Sie berichten abseits des gegenwärtigen Narrativs und vermitteln dem Zuschauer dabei auf innovative Weise einen neuen Zugang und Einblick in diesen Themenbereich.
In einem nächsten Forschungsschritt wäre es angebracht, aus medienkulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive zu schauen, ob sich ein solcher narrativer Wandel in den berichtenden Medien im Print- und Rundfunkjournalismus etabliert und ob sie die Flüchtenden auch in den Fokus ihrer Berichterstattung setzen. Generell eignet sich das Thema Migration und Flucht sehr gut für eine Diskursanalyse. Hier könnte der Wandel des Narrativs vor, während und nach der Zäsur 2015 erforscht werden."

"Desde el comienzo de su pontificado, Francisco ha enfatizado que no hay futuro sin un enraizamiento en la historia vivida. En su mensaje para la Jornada Mundial de las Comunicaciones de este año, resalta aún más la importancia de la herencia de la memoria y la historia también en la comunicaci
...
n. El tema elegido por el papa es: “‘Para que puedas contar y grabar en la memoria’ (Ex 10, 2). La vida hace historia”. Relación, narración, memoria e historia son los grandes ejes que conforman el horizonte comunicacional del mensaje papal. “El ser humano es un narrador”, afirma el papa. Él necesita “tejer” historias, “’revestirse’” de historias”, para cuidar y guardar la propia vida. La propia palabra “texto”, de hecho, proviene del latín “textus”, que significa precisamente tejido. Ser es tejer relaciones y sentidos. En los últimos años, gracias a la digitalización, la narración de hechos e historias va ganando importantes avances. Hoy podemos hablar de “narrativas transmedia”, es decir, de una “estrategia narrativa que, además de exandir los mundos ficticios en diferentes medios y plataformas, también da importancia a la participación de los fanáticos en esta expansión”, como afirma Carlos Scolari, investigador en Comunicación y profesor de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). Para la construcción de estas narrativas, se utilizan varios medios y plataformas socio-digitales, que se articulan para contar una misma historia, pero que, al mismo tiempo, se desarrolla en varias historias paralelas, como libros, películas, juegos, historias en cómics, sitios web, videos, blogs, redes sociales digitales, etc. En otras palabras, la misma idea de narrativa se desvincula cada vez más de una cierta “matriz escritural”, reinventándose en los diferentes lenguajes y potencialidades abiertos por la digitalización y la conectividad."
