The 7th Irish International Conference on Narrative Inquiry welcomes papers \/ posters \/ panels\/performances from across the social sciences and creative disciplines that have a theoretical, methodological and\/or creative interest in narrative.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The overall theme of the conference this year is Narrative Exchange in Risky Spaces<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Story making and story sharing are sense making activities, endemic across cultures and prevalent through time. The \u2018homo narrans\u2019 (Fisher 1984) configures life experiences and life learnings into storied form and dialogues meanings with others through narrative. Narratives frequently emerge from and are concerned with confusing or troubling experiences. In the sharing the narrator seeks clarity and communion with others.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

However, trauma, fear, shocking stories and limited or hostile audiences can make narrative configuring and sharing a risky business. For example; the recent global pandemic has resulted in biographical disruption for many people.<\/p>\n

We need narrative dialogue, yet social distancing and cocooning mean that habitual opportunities for narrative configuration through story sharing may be lost, limited or transformed via online technologies. In times of political unrest, fear and paranoia can influence whether\/what stories are told and how narratives are shaped. In contexts of trauma, stories may be silenced.<\/p>\n

In this conference we are interested in the personal and cultural narratives that are configured in times of risk, trauma and trouble. We want to explore whether\/how these narratives of disruption are accommodated, shared and shaped in the wider context of their tellings. We are particularly drawn to the notion of \u2018narrative contagion\u2019 (Servitje & Nixon, 2016) that is; how particular narratives \u2018catch onto\u2019 public sentiment; informing and informed by prevailing socio-political discourse.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Dublin City University, the conference is co-organised and supported by Institute of Technology, Sligo; Maynooth University and Trinity College Dublin. The conference aims to bring together a wide range of Irish and international scholars to share and explore recent developments in narrative inquiry. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the conference will be online.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
