Transforming Stories brings together 15 chapters that explore the unique potential of storytelling to transform knowledge and understanding, and the potential of stories to be transformed in turn. Leveraging the narrative and philosophical scholarship of Professor Hanna Meretoja, Transforming Stories illuminates and critically evaluates how stories can influence and shape everyday lives and their limitations. At the same time, it sheds light on the ways that stories themselves are pliable and permeable, shaped by intentions, interpretations and innovations. Across four sections, the authors of this collection examine the theoretical and empirical role of stories and storytelling mediums to change how we understand the world and ourselves.
