Abstract

Abstract:Our introduction aims to contest narrative as an anthropocentric proper and delineates current theories, methods, and challenges of conceiving plants as both storytellers and storied matter. Our issue fits into the larger frame of a recent "vegetal turn" within the humanities that has long been used to find plants marginal, mute, or symbolic supplements to human stories. The introduction, therefore, focuses on forms of vegetal creativity and narrativity. It explores vegetal narrative cultures emerging when (1) plants co-author and shape narrative practices, (2) plant stories partake in the creation of multispecies societies, and (3) plant articulations are embedded in narrative contexts.

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
