And another talk!
Free public post: What's the Deal with Narrative Genre? A Folklorist's Guide to Stories (Part 2). https://www.patreon.com/posts/whats-deal-with-160301254
You've heard us called "Homo sapiens," the wise hominid. Well we're not always wise, but we are always telling stories. In this talk I explore the types of stories we humans use to make sense of the past (history, myth and legend) and how they can each tell us the truth.
It's the second installment of three community talks that I gave in the spring of 2024, diving into how folklore theory can enrich the way we read and make meaning of stories.
