Introduction to
Externalisation & Re-authoring
Maps to navigate story-lands.
Narrative practices believes that, all the problems are rooted in oppressive structures rather than in communities, beings and people's bodies and identities. Communities and people are experts of their own life and exist in relationship with each other. We all are performing our stories or being made to perform them and that stories are how we make sense of our experience, of our world and of ourselves. Stories from our everyday lived experience help us in co-creating maps to navigate story-lands.
In this workshop
We will explore:
Communities and people are not the problem but the problem is the problem.
Locating problems in the socio-cultural-historical context.
Post-structuralist thinking: identity as territories, landscapes and galaxies of stories
Rich Story Development
How to craft questions to evoke richer stories
Practise the skills of Double listening and Loitering with Intent.
We will also pay careful attention, learn the scaffold and practice the maps of Externalisation and Re-authoring Conversations through didactic teaching, practising interviews and listening to stories of application in diverse context.
