Routledge Handbook of Counter-Narratives is a landmark volume providing students, university lecturers, and practitioners with a comprehensive and structured guide to the major topics and trends of research on counter-narratives. The concept of counter-narratives covers resistance and opposition as told and framed by individuals and social groups. Counter-narratives are stories impacting on social settings that stand opposed to (perceived) dominant and powerful master-narratives. In sum, the contributions in this handbook survey how counter-narratives unfold power to shape and change various fields. Fields investigated in this handbook are organizations and professional settings, issues of education, struggles and concepts of identity and belonging, the political field, as well as literature and ideology. The handbook is framed by a comprehensive introduction as well as a summarizing chapter providing an outlook on future research avenues. Its direct and clear appeal will support university learning and prompt both students and researchers to further investigate the arena of narrative research.--

Dans At the Will of the Body, Arthur Frank raconte l'histoire de ses propres maladies, de sa crise cardiaque et de son cancer. Le livre se termine par la description de l'existence d'une « société de rémission », dont tous les membres vivent avec une forme de maladie ou de handicap. The Wounded Storyteller est leur portrait collectif. Les malades sont plus que des victimes de la maladie ou des patients de la médecine, ce sont des conteurs blessés. Les gens racontent des histoires pour donner un sens à leur souffrance, quand ils transforment leurs maladies en histoires, ils trouvent la guérison. S'appuyant sur les travaux d'auteurs tels qu'Oliver Sacks, Anatole Broyard, Norman Cousins ​​et Audre Lorde, ainsi que sur ceux des personnes qu'il a rencontrées au cours des années qu'il a passées au sein de différents groupes de malades, Frank raconte une collection émouvante d'histoires de maladies, allant de la célèbre bataille de Gilda Radner contre le cancer des ovaires aux témoignages privés de personnes atteintes de cancer, du syndrome de fatigue chronique et de handicaps. Leurs histoires sont plus que des récits de souffrances personnelles : elles regorgent de choix moraux et font référence à une éthique sociale. Frank identifie trois récits fondamentaux de la maladie : la restitution, le chaos et la quête. Les récits de restitution anticipent le rétablissement et accordent une place importante à la technologie de la guérison. Dans les récits de chaos, la maladie semble s'étendre à l'infini, sans répit ni perspectives rédemptrices. Les récits de quête visent à trouver cette vision lorsque la maladie se transforme en un moyen pour la personne malade de devenir quelqu'un de nouveau.

In this elegantly written and theoretically sophisticated work, Rukmini Bhaya Nair asks why human beings across the world are such compulsive and inventive storytellers. Extending current research in cognitive science and narratology, she argues that we seem to have a genetic drive to fabricate as a way of gaining the competitive advantages such fictions give us. She suggests that stories are a means of fusing causal and logical explanations of 'real' events with emotional recognition, so that the lessons taught to us as children, and then throughout our lives via stories, lay the cornerstones
