PDF-(EBOOK)-Narrating Complexity

This book stages a dialogue between international researchers from the broad fields of complexity science and narrative studies It presents an edited collection of chapters on aspects of how narrative theory from the humanities may be exploited to understand explain describe and communicate aspects of complex systems such as their emergent properties feedbacks and downwards causation and how ideas from complexity science can inform narrative theory and help explain understand and construct new more complex models of narrative as a cognitive faculty and as a pervasive cultural form in new and old media The book is suitable for academics practitioners and professionals and postgraduates in complex systems narrative theory literary and film studies new media and game studies and science communication.

Listening carefully to stories of how race, class, age, gender, sexuality, and disability can affect patient experience can be revealing and provide much needed change to health communication in the patienthood narrative. This book is a collection of vibrant and engaging essays by scholars of narrative methods in health communication. Each chapter takes readers into the fascinating world of patients who use stories from their personal lives to challenge us to rethink, reimagine, and reformulate what health communication means in practice. Each section of the book focuses on an important aspect of the theory and practice of the patienthood narrative. Part one explores the important ways that telling and sharing patient\'s stories can lead to learning, empowerment, and advocacy. Part two explores several key forms of diversity and how they affect patienthood. Part three illustrates how personal, relational, and cultural aspects of identity intersect to shape the patient experience.
