Introduction to Narrative For Futures
Studies<http://tku.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=c90dad18600a6cf46664a2d58&id=a1db2aec52&e=a7d0e16e02>
by Vuokko Jarva

This article is inspired by Michel Godet’s recent comment about the gap
between scenarios and action. The article explores narrative’s dimensions
as a tool for filling the gap between anticipation and action, and comments
on the tellability of future and why narrative has great potential. It
concludes with an emphasis the importance of taking into account the
different views and languages of the copartners and close with the idea
that, that futures studies should be deliberative, negotiation based, in
order to bridge the gap.

Creating Alternative Selves: The Use of Futures Discourse in Narrative
Therapy<http://tku.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c90dad18600a6cf46664a2d58&id=317ea919fa&e=a7d0e16e02>

This article focuses on the field of narrative therapy which emerged in the
1990s, and investigates the use of futures discourse within it. Narrative
therapy in psychology focuses on helping individuals to move away from
unhelpful and distressing storytelling and towards new stories that shape
their identities and relationships in line with the possibilities of
desired presents and futures. The article therefore analyses the explicit
and implicit use of futures discourse in narrative therapy, and
investigates connections between narrative therapy and futures studies. It
concludes by suggesting the strengthening of these connections by proposing
futures studies practitioners further learn from narrative therapists and
vice versa.

Untangling Teachers’ Images of Their Futures Through Their Responses to the
Futures Narratives of
Children<http://tku.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c90dad18600a6cf46664a2d58&id=ad9daddc03&e=a7d0e16e02>
By Debra Bateman

A significant amount of research has been undertaken exploring individuals’
images of a future. What often remains uninterrogated are the ways in which
others’ respond to these images of a future, as they are articulated
through narrative discourses. This paper, then, seeks to address this void
through the presentation of research which considers the ways that
teachers’ perceptions of ‘the future’ are consolidated and challenged, as
they work with children in a classroom setting.

Tales of Our Tomorrows: Transmedia Storytelling and Communicating About the
Future<http://tku.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c90dad18600a6cf46664a2d58&id=a409ff7a66&e=a7d0e16e02>
By Peter von Stackelberg and Ruth Eira Jones

Foresight professionals and the futures field as a whole faces a series of
challenges in communicating about the future. Simply presenting data and
having a “rational” discussion is not enough to shape perceptions about the
future and move people to action. The rapid evolution of digital media
technology and the emergence of transmedia storytelling present foresight
professionals with a powerful new approach for communicating about the
future. Transmedia storytelling is the use of multiple media – graphic
novels, video clips on YouTube, blogs, Twitter, and enhanced e-books, for
example – to tell one or more related stories set within a common
storyworld. This article outlines some of the key principles of transmedia
storytelling in order to provide a basic framework that foresight
professionals can use when designing transmedia projects.

Narrative Rhetorics in Scenario Work: Sensemaking and
Translation<http://tku.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c90dad18600a6cf46664a2d58&id=93cc3df077&e=a7d0e16e02>
By Zhan Li

With Jerome Bruner and Walter Fisher’s work on narrative as a starting
point, this article presents a narrative-based approach to theory-building
for scenarios—relevant for futures narratives broadly defined—that
conceives of them as sensemaking and rhetorical efforts for organizations
that seek to catalyze decision and action through futures work. The
organizational sensemaking theories of Karl Weick are combined with the
rhetorical and narrative perspective of Actor-Network-Theory from which the
key concept of ‘translation’ is drawn.
