Humans are story-telling animals. In the peri(patetic|cycletic)
SoSe2026 seminar at Gutshof Sauen, we shall reflect upon history of
story-telling as it has been, since times immemorial, practiced in
different cultures and different contexts (artistic, educational,
political etc.). We will ask questions like: "How will
story-telling look like in the future ? What methods, instruments and
media will be used to-tell-the-story in year 2300 ? Will AIs and
corporations be the principal story-tellers or are they just temporary
actors reminding us how important it is that humanity should protect its
"narrative sovereignity" ? What stories will be told, by whom, and to
whom ?". But first and foremost: we will practice. Outdoor and
indoor; by a fireplace and in Extended Reality, we - You, me, us - will
be telling stories. And, hopefully, also learning in the process.
