“The power of stories lies in their ability to access the deep layers of the psyche, providing a mirror to our inner world.” – Marie-Louise Von Franz
As aptly stated by Jimmy Neil Smith, “We are all storytellers. We all live in a network of stories. There isn’t a stronger connection between people than storytelling.” What distinguishes humans is not merely our consciousness, but our innate capacity to craft narratives—myths being the earliest manifestations of this unique trait, as noted by Margaret Atwood, “built in the human plan. We come with it.”
This conference aims to convene screenwriters, performance storytellers, digital storytellers, authors, educators, practitioners, journalists, scholars, researchers, psychologists, visual artists, and other creatives to explore the diverse types, functions, and significance of storytelling. In addition to delving into the fundamental question, “what truly constitutes a story?”, we seek to delve into why storytelling remains vital, how it continues to resonate in contemporary society, and the profound impact narratives have on shaping our perceptions and identities. With a comparative lens, we will examine various narrative forms, tracing their roots in mythology to the latest innovations in storytelling.
We invite 15-minute presentations on topics including (but not limited to) the following:
Common archetypes in stories
Sandplay and its narrative implications in therapy
Storytelling as a therapeutic tool
Murals and visual storytelling
The intersection of storytelling and technology
Digital storytelling: Innovations and challenges
Exploring cross-genre storytelling through the prose poem
Ekphrastic storytelling: The dialogue between image and text
Performance storytelling: Oral traditions in modern contexts
The role of research in storytelling practices
Fairytales, fables, and their enduring relevance
Contemporary renditions of mythology
Evolution of archetypal themes in children’s films
Children’s pop storytelling culture: Trends and impacts
The function of storytelling in pedagogy
Storytelling in drama
Analysing shifts in archetypal reflections in children’s stories
Understanding the psychology underpinning storytelling processes
Surrealism and magical realism: Expanding narrative boundaries
The art of visual storytelling: From illustration to graphic novels to sequential art
For creatives: Sharing and discussing your own creative storytelling work
The full conference programme will be announced following the proposal deadline, once all presenters have been selected.
Note: Participants interested in attending the conference without presenting a paper are also welcome.
