We’re celebrating the publication of our special issue ”Applied Narratology” with a symposium on Feb 3, 12-14 in Tampere and via zoom: https://research.tuni.fi/narrare/events/

How can narrative theory’s understanding about the ways stories work be applied to other professions and fields - e.g. to medicine, nursing, criminology, or organization studies?

The special issue argues for a critical understanding about the role of narratives in the society.

I got to write about one of my favourite books ever: Tove Jansson’s Moominvalley in November ❤️. The article asks why some readers return to the book every autumn - and how the strange combination of anxiety and safety is constructed in the novel.
