In this essay, I suggest that plants not only silently tell us something (indeed, a great deal) about themselves and the world, but also that they tell stories, rendering witness accounts about life and death, light and darkness, middles, beginnings, and ends. After correlating vegetal storytelling with the ancient muthos that survives the onslaught of logos, I concentrate on three levels of this storytelling: (1) the story of plant life; (2) stories of plant communities; and (3) stories of individual plants. Jointly, these three levels comprise the philosophy of stories plants tell.","PeriodicalId":40483,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Culture","volume":"10 1","pages":"189 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43369323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Calling out the colonial violence, racial injustice, and neo-Darwinism that are lurking within the stories people still tell about plants, Myers invites us to explore ways of sensing plants that can cultivate human-plant kinship, and open us up to an experience of the creativity of plant life.","PeriodicalId":40483,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Culture","volume":"10 1","pages":"266 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45840978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":40483,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Culture","volume":"10 1","pages":"175 - 188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49437357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It then considers subsequent permutations and variants of that tale as they relate to the rise of a national holiday, only to be supplanted by narratives concerningthe Pilgrims in the late 1800s. It further demonstrates the utility of increasingly accessible newspaper archives for historical research into folk narratives.","PeriodicalId":40483,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Culture","volume":"10 1","pages":"61 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66360180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here stories, both narrated and cited, are used to negotiate a convention on the uses of traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions. These stories circulate in both informal talk and formal interventions during meetings, to support different positions, make a particular point, or explain certain aspects of the setting to novices. Well-known stories, some of which were initially formulated by folklorists, ethnomusicologists, and anthropologists, are instrumentalized in the negotiating process. Anecdotes, parables, and legends arise within the process andget passed from veteran attendees to newcomers. Through these stories, people hailing from the four corners of the world are temporarily transformed into a tentative and tenuous community that makes one of the great halls of international relationsits home for one week, thus laying the groundwork for multilateral diplomacy.","PeriodicalId":40483,"journal":{"name":"Narrative Culture","volume":"10 1","pages":"107 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43734440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The myth of Bava Gor and Makhan Devi hides within it multiple contestations and adaptations in the religio-cultural landscape of Siddis through an encounter with native Hindu/Aboriginal religious beliefs. The paper seeksto study these transitions in the mythic landscape of Bava Gor and how it reflects the syncretic dynamics of Siddis’ relation with majority communities.
