'Everyone loves a story. Not everyone loves a computer. 'Digital storytelling' is a workshop based practice in which people are taught to use digital media to create shot audio-video stories, usually about their own lives, placing the universal human delight in narrative and self-expression into the hands of everyone, bringing a timeless form into the digital age, and giving a voice to the myriad tales of everyday life as experienced by ordinary people.

Story Circle is the first collection ever devoted to a comprehensive international study of the digital storytelling movement. Exploring subjects of central importance on the emergent and ever-shifting digital landscape - consumer-generated content, memory grids, the digital storytelling youth movement, and micro-documentary - Story Circle pinpoints who is telling what stories where, in what terms, and what they look and sound like. From China and Brazil to Western Europe and Australia, Story Circle charts how tales are being told in the digital age.' (Publisher's Blurb)

'International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more.'
