Word of mouth - Storytelling

Storytelling often involves improvisation or
embellishment. Stories or narratives have
been shared in every culture as a means

preservation and in order to instill moral

Word of mouth - Storytelling

The earliest forms of storytelling were
thought to have been primarily oral
combined with gesture storytelling for
many of the ancient cultures. The
Australian Aboriginal people painted
symbols from stories on cave walls as
a means of helping the storyteller
remember the story. The story was
then told using a combination of oral
narrative, music, rock art, and dance.

Traditionally, oral stories were committed
to memory and then passed from
generation to generation. However, in
literate societies, written and televised
media have largely replaced this method
of communicating local, family, and
cultural histories. Oral storytelling remains
the dominant medium of learning in some
countries with low literacy rates.

Organizational storytelling
'Organizational storytelling' is an
emerging discipline in the study of
management, strategy and
organization studies. As an emerging
discipline it is contested ground, with
some academics describing it is a
purposeful tool to be used by business
people, and others describing it is a
way of understanding and interpreting
organizational life.

Interactive storytelling - Strategies

Crawford discusses three potential
strategies for developing interactive
storytelling systems. Firstly,
environmental approaches are those
which take an interactive system,
such as a computer game, and
encourage the actions of a user in
such a way as to form a coherent plot.
With a sufficiently complex systems
emergent behavior may form storyhttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-storytelling-toolkit.html
Interactive storytelling - Strategies
1
Secondly, data-driven strategies have a
library of story components which are
sufficiently general that they can be
combined smoothly in response to a
user's actions (or lack thereof). This
approach has the advantage of being
more general that the directed
environmental approach, at the cost of
a much larger initial investment.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-storytelling-toolkit.html
Interactive storytelling - Strategies
Finally, language-based approaches
require that the user and system share
some, very limited, domain-specific
language so that they can react to each
other and the system can 'understand'
a greater proportion of the users
actions, Crawford suggests
approaches that only use, for example,
pictorial languages or restricted
versions of English.,Chapters 8 to 10

Storytelling - Oral traditions
A need to tell and hear stories is
essential to the species Homo
sapiensndash; second in necessity
apparently after nourishment and before
love and shelter. Millions survive
without love or home, almost none in
silence; the opposite of silence leads
quickly to narrative, and the sound of
story is the dominant sound of our lives,
from the small accounts of our day's
events to the vast incommunicable
constructs of psychopaths.Price,

In contrast to improvisational

describe the actions of their characters

Adriana Cavarero - Relating Narratives: Storytelling and Selfhood (2000)
1
Cavarero claims that we perceive ourselves
as narratable, as protagonists of a story that
we long to hear from others. This desire for a
story, for our story to be told, becomes the
guiding element in the new approach to
identity. Our identity is not possessed in
advance, as an innate quality or inner self
that we are able to master and express. It is
rather the outcome of a relational practice,
something given to us from another, in the
form of a life-story, a biography.

During the sex scene in the Fiction part of
the film, a red box was added for the
American version of the film, blocking the
audience's view of a rough sex scene
between Selma Blair and Robert Wisdom.
This was used to bend the rules of the
MPAA's rating system, allowing the film to
obtain the R rating instead of NC-17. The
box is not present in the international
version of the film, although in the
American DVD release, both options are
available.
