	Storytelling - KM toolkit: inventory of tools and techniques - Knowledge Management - NeLH Specialist Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Storytelling uses a range of techniques to engage, involve and inspire people, using language that is more authentic (everyday language as opposed to ‘textbook buzzword speak’) and a narrative form that people find interesting and fun.
		Storytelling for communications – In contrast to the conventional approach which views communications as the sending of a message from a communicator to a recipient, storytelling is based on a more interactive view of communication.
		Storytelling to capture tacit knowledge – Tacit knowledge can be a multi-layered and multi-dimensional thing and as such it is often difficult to articulate (for example, have you ever tried to explain to someone who can’t swim how to swim, without actually showing them?).

	Narrative, Perspective and the Orders of the Church
		In short, the perspective treatises of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries were not explorations of new spatial horizons.
		For now perspective was a means of depicting grand domes which one could not afford to construct; an economical idea which spread throughout Europe and beyond after Pozzo published his methods (1693-1700) in what became one of the standard texts of the eighteenth century.
		Perspective tended to link the place where the scene was painted with the space of the scene represented.

	Pauline McLeod -- Aboriginal Perspective on Storytelling
		There was also the opportunity for the storytellers to earn their position - learning and telling the stories - this was the traditional way stories were passed on.
		If a storyteller knows what they are doing, if they hold true to the tradition of the storyteller - whether it be Aboriginal, Anglo-Celtic, European or Black Forest storyteller, Hasidic, Asian or American storyteller - and understands the power of stories and how they can help people, they then have a credibility in the community.
		The role of the storyteller within modern society had begun to die out and, because people were able to travel all around the world, they felt they had the right to collect and retell stories willy-nilly.

	UW researcher links storytelling and mathematical ability
		Math and storytelling may seem like very different abilities, but a new study by University of Waterloo scientist Daniela O'Neill suggests that preschool children's early storytelling abilities are predictive of their mathematical ability two years later.
		This study suggests that building strong storytelling skills early in the preschool years may be helpful in preparing children for learning mathematics when they enter school.
		Both storytelling and mathematics involve many different abilities and we are trying to determine what the overlapping abilities are that might explain why being better at certain types of storytelling skills might help when tackling certain kinds of mathematical problems," O'Neill said.

	Aesthetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aesthetics in music are highly sensitive to their context: what sounds good in modern American rock would sound terrible in the context of the early baroque age.
		Performing arts appeal to our aesthetics of storytelling, grace, balance, class, timing, strength, shock, humor, costume, irony, beauty, drama, suspense, and sensuality.
		Whereas live stage performance is usually constrained by the physical reality at hand, film performance can further add the aesthetic elements of large-scale action, fantasy, and a complex interwoven musical score.

	Storytelling Centre Feasability Study
		The storytellers and the storytelling organisations to whom we have spoken have clear views about what needs to be done to assist the development of their art and their professional practice.
		Storytellers and storytelling organisations generally believe a Centre is the best way to raise the profile of storytelling and provide a visible focus for the art.
		Storytellers are highly supportive of the idea of a proactive library and archive resource as a source of research material and as a way of recording the ephemeral aspects of storytelling.

	The Storyteller’s Page – The WHEEL Council
		An effective storytelling prevention program includes stories, both original and from the participants' culture, as well as a means for transforming personal experiences of the participants into stories.
		It is best if stories are chosen from the storytellers’ own perspective so that the story should be one that the storyteller is drawn too.
		In effect, the storyteller is communicating heart to heart with the listener.

	jason ohler : Digital Storytelling - DAOW of storytelling
		In this digital storytelling workshop we will address how oral and written storytelling, as well as storytelling using digital and art skills, are involved in the creation of digital stories, and how all these literacies and forms of storytelling can reinforce each other.
		Having a grasp of traditional storytelling will not only enrich your digital storytelling, but it will also allow you to use storytelling in your classroom whether your classroom is high tech, low tech or no tech.
		Our challenge as educators who want to use digital storytelling across the curriculum is to harness the tremendously persuasive power of the story form through a process that imbues it with reflection, problem solving and reasoned thinking.

	Storytelling Organizations - Boje
		In the 1990s, I refined a storytelling organization as "collective storytelling system in which the performance of stories is a key part of members’ sense-making and a means to allow the to supplement individual memories with institutional memoryand quot; (1991: 106; 1995: 1000).
		The perspective taken in the paper extends earlier work on the "storytelling organization" by look ing at the encounters of QM, Choral Company, Academy, and JMI as four storytelling organizations that are co-negotiating, co-constructing, and co-shaping the "telling" of each others stories.
		But, activist entrepreneurs are also virtual storytelling organizations, using the Internet to assemble delegitimation stories to damage the integrity of Nike, crafting stories to purposely deconstruct the dominant ideology and institutional memory of Nike, who they frame as Wile Coyote.

	Excerpt - Knowledge Management: The Next Generation - Reading Room - CIO
		Storytellers will obviously transfer significantly more context around experience and work practice than what is typically found in content form.
		It is not that storytelling is not a powerful tool, it is. It is just that others have already staked out that particular part of the business landscape—lessons learned and best practices for example.
		Storytelling can be a powerful tool, so look to increase knowledge about KM and establish a corporate comfort zone for it through the dissemination of KM success stories to those individuals who are most likely to fuel the corporate grapevine.

	"Storytelling in Ministry of the Word: A Franciscan Perspective" by Brian Cavanaugh, TOR
		In exploring storytelling within the Franciscan tradition, it is amazing to note that the origins of the Franciscan fraternity began with a story‑parable that St. Francis received from Christ while in prayer.
		A bonus to storytelling ministry, from my experience, is that people tend to listen more attentively and enter into the story with the catechist, teacher or preacher, enabling him or her to make the connection with the biblical word, the stories of their lives and the kingdom of God.
		Storytelling in ministry of the Word and catechesis is like the scattering of seeds.

		From bedtime chronicles exploring the misadventures of fantastical creatures to the beginning mumblings of a toddler trying to explain her day, storytelling introduces children to the initial stages of communication and literacy, as well creating a bridge between the physical world and an imaginative one [1].
		Storytelling brings people together in a common perspective, and stretches everyone’s capacity to empathize with others and share experience" [3].
		Storytelling provides a way for children to exercise imagination, language style and the production of social roles [12].

		In contrast, the storytelling perspective emphasizes undecidability, because the story is just a story, with no pretentions to "scientific fact." Both the storyteller and the listener/reader, are capable of revising the story, of revising history, and re-storying (White and Epston, 1990).
		The concepts of storytelling, story deconstruction, and restorying, all were used throughout this process, from the initial data-gathering, through the consultation process and the final report.
		Incorporating aspects of storytelling, story deconstruction, and re-historicizing or restorying, this approach also may be used as an effective adjunct or alternative to traditional business case analysis.

	Point of view (literature) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Narrator.
		In literature and storytelling, a point of view is the related experience of the narrator — not that of the author.
		Authors expressly cannot, in fiction, insert or inject their own voice, as this challenges the suspension of disbelief.

		To investigate whether ASL signers make similar perspective choices and to study the nature of these spatial descriptions in sign language, we presented ASL signers with the maps used by Taylor and Tversky and asked them to describe the environment shown on the map.
		Finally, we propose that ASL signers utilize one of two different spatial formats, depending on whether a route or a survey perspective is chosen.
		Each description was judged as adopting either a route perspective, a survey perspective, or a mixed perspective.

		Storytelling aspires to offer tantalizing comment on the nature of narrative with two short films.
		In Storytelling, all of the characters are either blank slates or unsketched caricatures, and there's little investment in spending time with this assortment of hollow sadsacks who only aspire to the most superficial ends.

	Unbound Spiral: Perspective on Business Stories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Professional storytelling is often seen as bringing a new story to the listener, and immersing the listener fully and completely in the storyteller's story.
		The listener is fully absorbed into the storyteller's story as the storyteller evokes a different world with its sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and feelings.
		Business storytelling is more about understanding the story that the listener is currently living and stimulating a new story in the listener.

		One possibility is that signers prefer survey perspectives in general, perhaps because signing space can be used so effectively to represent a map.
		That is, subjects can locate landmarks on a horizontal plane in signing space in a manner that is isomorphic to the locations of landmarks on a map (in fact, this is how signing space is utilized for survey perspectives).
		A mental representation of the map itself may be more easily expressed using a horizontal plane in signing space with a fixed "bird's eye view" vantage point, and this type of spatial format is more compatible with a survey perspective.

	IGDA - Game Writers' SIG - Foundations of Interactive Storytelling
		Providing a true interactive storytelling experience has the potential to satisfy the audience by connecting their actions to the unfolding story directly.
		With a little forethought and care, interactive stories can be integrated into a game project with minimal overall cost or risk, but as ever the games designer must pay attention to the many different participants in the game development process if they are going to do their job to the best of their ability.
		We have seen how the field of interactive storytelling has grown out of the table top role-playing games of the 1970's and onwards, and discussed two ways in which interactive storytelling is likely to become more widespread over the next few decades.

	Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As those of us who have tried to study or teach storytelling (oral narrative) in academia are especially aware, storytelling is considered in a wide variety of academic disciplines, including Anthropology, Communications, Computer Science, Creative Arts Therapy, Education, English, History, Library and Information Sciences, Performance Studies, Psychology, Sociology, Speech, Theatre, and Theology.
		Storytelling Studies would offer applied courses providing practical instruction in traditional storytelling styles of various cultures, as well as courses dedicated to developing explicitly experimental styles of storytelling, including storytelling accompanied by electronic visual images, and storytelling via videoconferencing (it is debatable as to whether or not the latter should be called storytelling at all).
		Storytelling is done in everyday conversation and also as clearly demarcated art and performance.
