'Finalist' in the PROSE Award (2022) for Language & Linguistics
Awarded Honors at the Storytelling World Awards 2022 Linking the
ongoing ecological crisis with contemporary conditions of
alienation and disenchantment in modern society, this book
investigates the capacity of oral storytelling to reconnect people
to the natural world and enchant and renew their experience of
nature, place and their own existence in the world. Anthony Nanson
offers an in-depth examination of how a diverse ecosystem of oral
stories and the dynamics of storytelling as an activity can
catalyse different kinds of conversation and motivation, helping us
resist the discourse of powerful vested interests. Detailed
analysis of traditional, true-life and fictional stories shows how
spoken narrative language can imbue landscapes, creatures and
experiences with enchantment and mediate between the inner world of
consciousness and outer world of ecology and community. A
pioneering ecolinguistic and ecocritical study of oral storytelling
in the modern world, Storytelling and Ecology offers insight into
the ways that sharing stories in each other's embodied presence can
open up spaces for transformation in our relationships with the
ecological world around us.
