Conference Theme<\/strong><\/p>\n

The conference engages broadly with the theme of nature(s) in narrative. We ask how narrative is entangled with nature in its various forms, situated in the micro and macro, the rural and urban, ranging from essentialist notions of the natural, the supernatural to non-binary assemblages of nature-culture. Subjects for discussion might include the following:<\/p>\n

How do notions of nature relate to narrations of identity, heritage, the national and personal, the physical and the spiritual?
\nWhat comprehensions of \u201cthe natural\u201d can be gleaned from storytelling, in its various cultural and social contexts, and in folk narrative research itself?
\nHow has our narrative vocabulary and academic terminology borrowed from and conversed with the discourses of nature?
\nDoes folk narrative entail a commons of sorts?
\nHow do environment and disparate nature-cultural assemblages shape narrative, characters, flow, style and storytelling events?
\nHow are human and non-human entanglements expressed, sensed, performed and reimagined in storytelling events?
\nHow do narrators delineate \u201cselves\u201d from \u201cthe other\u201d in the living world; the natural from the \u201cunnatural\u201d or supernatural; the mundane from the enchanted?
\nHow are our conceptions of nature shaped and challenged by unusual \u201cnatural events\u201d and climate crises, or urbanisation, technology, information disorder (fake news) and artificial intelligence?
\nWhat are the \u201cnatures\u201d of archives and how are they shaped by narratives?
\nDo natures in narrative reveal aspects of the \u201cnatures\u201d of narrative, its forms, functions and practice?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
