AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The model for digital storytelling first developed by Joe Lambert and others at the Center for Digital Storytelling (CDS) has been adopted and variously transformed for use in an ever-increasing number of mainly institutional contexts, many of which are represented in the present volume. In most forms of digital storytelling understood in this way, everyday storytelling, life narrative, and the domestic archive of biographical images are re-mediated through the production and distribution of digital stories, transforming them from one-to-one, private forms of communication and translating them into contexts here they can potentially contribute to public culture (Burges 2006a, Burgess, Klaebe, and Foth 2006).'

    'Everyone loves a story. Not everyone loves a computer. 'Digital storytelling' is a workshop based practice in which people are taught to use digital media to create shot audio-video stories, usually about their own lives, placing the universal human delight in narrative and self-expression into the hands of everyone, bringing a timeless form into the digital age, and giving a voice to the myriad tales of everyday life as experienced by ordinary people.

    Story Circle is the first collection ever devoted to a comprehensive international study of the digital storytelling movement. Exploring subjects of central importance on the emergent and ever-shifting digital landscape - consumer-generated content, memory grids, the digital storytelling youth movement, and micro-documentary - Story Circle pinpoints who is telling what stories where, in what terms, and what they look and sound like. From China and Brazil to Western Europe and Australia, Story Circle charts how tales are being told in the digital age.' (Publisher's Blurb)
