Rehearsal for Liminality: Devising Performance and Crafting Solidarity with Asylum Seekers in the In-Between
What does it mean to rehearse liminality, to practice being in-between? Through examining two years of applied, devised theatre work with asylum seekers—henceforth, the Storytellers—in the Washington, DC, area, I argue that this theatremaking process raised important questions of what it means to be in-between, build solidarity, and find peace in the unknown. The power and crux of the devising process lie in creating a space in which the Storytellers both found meaning in the social and political uncertainty of their situations and built solidarities as a counterpublic act. Rehearsing liminality created opportunities to rearticulate personhood, rebuffing colonial impulses that encourage dispossession, isolation, and fear.

Matters of telling : the impulse of the story
In this book, multiple authors and perspectives converge on the materiality of storytelling in order to court its potentialities and flesh out its tensions. Reflecting through its methodological multiplicity not only the vast array of discourses and disciplines that concern themselves with the study of narration, but also the various and variable subjects of the act of telling, the collective effort of this volume is less to map or track than to amplify the possibilities of contingent situations, embodied relations and specific texts in which, beyond the tale, the telling itself speaks and matters.

Des mémoires aux mises en récits ( storytelling ) raconter sa vie en politique dans la France des années 1970 jusqu’à de nos jours
Malgré l’avènement de la communication dématérialisée et de la civilisation numérique, la production d’ouvrages politiques en France ne s’est jamais réellement tarie au cours des quarante dernières années. À l’intérieur de cette production littéraire si particulière et si massive, les Mémoires et les genres qui s’en rapprochent de près ou de loin, anciens ou plus récents (autobiographies, biographies corédigées, storytelling etc.), occupent une place de choix. Partant d’une typologie assez fine des manières d’écrire de soi et de son passé en politique - qu’il s’agisse du choix du genre (mémoires, autobiographies, biographies corédigées etc.) ou de ses supports (livres, interviews, émissions de télévision, multimédia etc.) – cet article nourri l’ambition d’en expliquer les grands principes et de proposer des grilles de lectures opérationnelles afin de comprendre ce phénomène sociopolitique.
