“…Despite these risks, digital narrative methods may hold value for qualitative researchers who are committed to empowering marginalized populations because they have the potential to transform the traditionally extractive relationship between researcher(s) and participant(s) by allowing participants to play a more active role in the research process (Quinton and Reynolds, 2017). Through the use of digital tools designed for everyday use by “non-experts,” digital narrative methods have been endorsed as a means of using collaborative creation processes to challenge typical hierarchies in social research with marginalized groups (De Jager et al, 2017; Hemy and Meshulam, 2020; Lindvig, 2017). Indeed, when researchers and participants come together as collaborators, they enter into shared arrangements of power that may help overcome social inequalities within the knowledge creation process (Chataway, 2010; Hemy and Meshulam, 2020; Lindvig, 2017; Warne et al, 2013).…”

For these reasons, digital narrative methods seem to be well-aligned with the anti-oppressive, social justice values, and principles of social work.…”

Although digital narrative methods lend themselves well to participatory, action-oriented inquiry, these relatively new methods also raise questions about potential risks involved in using digital technologies to engage marginalized groups in social work research. This article examines the feasibility, challenges, and opportunities of using digital narrative methods in anti-oppressive social work research (AOSWR) by providing empirical insights from the AltaVoces project—an AOSWR project that used digital narrative methods to engage Latino youth. This case study demonstrates the compatibility and feasibility of digital narrative methods in AOSWR by examining to what extent the AltaVoces project: (1) used methods that center the contexts, voices, and experiences of oppressed peoples, recognizing the social construction of knowledge and the politics inherent in knowledge creation, (2) critically interrogated power arrangements within research relationships and made efforts to form authentic, collaborative relationships and share power with co-researchers, and (3) acknowledged oppressive systems and institutions and reflected a commitment to transforming, dismantling, or abolishing them through the research purpose, process, and products. We found that digital tools offered new possibilities for centering the voices of Latino youth, rebalancing power in research relationships, and connecting knowledge to action through digital products, in alignment with AOSWR, but also introduced new power hierarchies and risks related to producing digital material. The AltaVoces project provides one example of how digital narrative research may be implemented and evaluated using the integrative AOSWR framework, exposing several aspects of digital narrative research that warrant specific attention and presenting practical strategies for doing so.

“…A DST jelentős személyiség-és képességfejlesztő hatásán túl a nehezen megkö¬ zelíthető helyzetek feltárására alkalmas kutatási eszköznek is kiválóan alkalmaz¬ ható. Lindveg (2017) egyenesen azt állítja, hogy a DST felfedezésen alapuló, dialó¬ gusorientált részvételi kutatási megközelítés, amely magában foglalja a folyamatot, a produktumokat és a disszeminációt is. A kutató a teljes folyamat aktív részese: nem külső megfigyelő, hanem résztvevő, aki miközben facilitálja a tevékenysége¬ ket, empirikus adatokat gyűjt, és azokat értelmezi is.…”

Digitális média és történetmesélés a felsőoktatásban

Az internet, az okoskészülékek és a közösségi platformok térhódítása lehetővé tette, hogy a 21. század embere digitális tartalmak befogadója és előállítója is legyen, valamint mikro- és makronarratívák segítségével szociális kapcsolódási igényét is kielégítse. Mindez megváltoztatta korunk emberének kommunikációs és tanulási szokásait is. A tudásátadás ősi, történetmesélésen alapuló formája megmaradt, ám a digitális média alkalmazásainak és a korlátlan közzététel lehetőségének köszönhetően az egyéni narratívák változatos formában és funkcióval jelennek meg. A Digitális média és történetmesélés a felsőoktatásban című könyv több tudományterület segítségével helyezi történeti és fogalmi keretbe a történetmesélés átalakulásának folyamatát és a digitális korra jellemző kommunikációs szokásokat. A kötet a hazai és nemzetközi gyakorlatot összegezve és abból kiindulva részletesen ismerteti azokat a felsőoktatási szakterületeket, amelyeknek a képzési rendszerébe szervesen illeszkednek a digitális médiatörténetek alkotására és értelmezésére fókuszáló kurzusok, emellett külön foglalkozik az interneten megjelenő narratívákban rejlő kutatási irányokkal is.

“…In addition to its personality and skill-building effects, DST is also an excellent research tool for exploring difficult situations. Lindveg (2017) argues that DST is a discovery-based, dialogue-oriented participatory research approach that includes process, products, and dissemination. The researcher takes the role of an active participant in the whole process; not as an external observer, but as a participant who, while facilitating activities, also collects empirical data and interprets them.…”

Digital media and storytelling in higher education

Anita Lanszki's book is about storytelling in the digital media environment. The enterprise is both classical in that it explores the nature of storytelling, which is found in all historical periods and human communities, and modern in that it undertakes a broad overview of contemporary digital culture from the perspective of storytelling. The book is also a methodological guide, illustrated with numerous examples, which has emerged organically from the author's many years of teaching experience. Although the title reflects a focus on the use of digital storytelling in various fields of higher education and research, this excellent work can also be used by professionals working in other spheres of education. Whatever our views on the digital space and age may be, we can probably all agree that we are witnessing a democratization of storytelling in our time. The insights in this book are therefore extremely useful for anyone who is interested in how the timeless practice of storytelling is adapting to the new media environment.
