JOURNAL SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION
AND EDITORIAL POLICY
EDITORIAL POLICY
STORYTELLING, SELF, SOCIETY is a double-blind peer reviewed interdisciplinary journal
that invites scholarship addressing any topic related to Storytelling --
from its role as performing art to contemporary applications in a variety of
professional fields. We welcome manuscripts from scholars in humanities and
social science disciplines, (including psychology, library science, literary
studies, folklore, anthropology, sociology, communication, rhetoric,
performance studies, theatre, history, feminist and queer studies, and
ethnography) as well as from storytelling artists and practitioners,
including those applying storytelling in the fields of education, health
care, social work, business, law, peace-building and environmental
education. Storytelling is a hyperlink discipline, which stands at
the headwaters of all disciplinarity in education and cultural transmission.
In the course of telling a story one is able to yoke together issues of
history, sociology, anthropology, literature, music, theatre, psychology,
religion, law, medicine, communication, and more, all through the natural
linkages of the narrative mode. The contemporary revival of storytelling has
grown through the fit between narrative thinking and the contrapuntal
knowledge organization born of the evolution from linear to hyperlink
technology, a correspondence which has only minimally emerged from the
cultural unconscious, especially in domains such as the academy which are
still beholden to the paradigm of print.
STORYTELLING,
SELF, SOCIETY
intends to gather the building blocks of new disciplinary roles, structures
and methodologies for Storytelling in the 21st century. We seek articles
that reflect the highest standards of the various disciplines on which we
draw, and to which we intend to contribute. In addition to standard
monographs, STORYTELLING, SELF, SOCIETY seeks to extend the
critical vocabulary of contemporary storytelling, and so solicits reviews of
storytelling performances and individual texts, as well as essays that
review several performances and texts. We also recognize that storytelling
is a longstanding discipline in itself -- an integral mode of understanding
and illuminating the world. Thus we welcome personal ethnography and
reflection, as well as stories that have evolved from the oral tradition and
reflect upon the endurance and evolution of oral traditions in the present
day. We recognize the profound and often contested influences of
storytelling and cultural narratives on the health of the individual, the
community, and the planet. We seek ways to evaluate, measure, and focus
those influences to impact our scholarship, our disciplines, our society,
and ourselves.
In keeping with an
interdisciplinary journal, monographs and review essays in
STORYTELLING, SELF, SOCIETY are written in prose that is appropriate
for a wide range of scholars and educated readers rather than the
specialized jargon of a specific discipline.

The Storytelling, Self,
Society logo image is based on the figure of the antlered man on
the Gundestrup Cauldron, National Museum (nationalmuseet) in
Copenhagen. The silver cauldron, found in a peat bog in Denmark,
is believed to be a ritual vessel of Celtic origin, which dates
from the La Tene period of the Iron Age. The antlered man may be
an image of the Celtic horned god Cernunnos or another Celtic
deity. As an archetype, Cernunnos is considered the Celtic
Father of Animals, an image associated with mature masculine
energy in balance with the natural world. The logo image
portrays the forest god in a typical yoga pose of meditation.
Around his neck he wears the torc, possibly commemorating his
sacred marriage to Mother Earth. In his right hand is a torc, a
possible symbol of initiation; in his left is the ram-headed
serpent, connected to vitality and power. |
