Story-Based Strategy : Amplifying the Impact of Grassroots Organizing  Grassroots International  October 22, 2009 Boston, MA
PART I: Framing (15 mins)
 
 
 
 
We are  made  of stories Stories help reinforce meaning and values in a culture. Symbols help recall stories. People don’t just tell stories. S tories tell people  who we are, how to live...
Frame: “ schemata of interpretation” (Goffman, 1974) Frame-alignment :  a  process to explain social movement theory (Snow & Benford, 1988) Core framing-tasks: 1. Diagnostic framing for the identification of a  problem  and assignment of blame  2. Prognostic framing to suggest  solutions , strategies, and tactics to a problem  3. Motivational framing that serves as a call to arms or rationale for  action
Metaphors We Live By  (1980)  "Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature." Embodied Mind  almost all of human cognition, up through the most abstract  reasoning, depends on and makes use of such concrete and "low-level" facilities  as the sensorimotor system and the emotions. Cognitive Science:  "We are neural beings…” Meta-Metaphor:  Strict Father/Nurturant Parent

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. This film by researchers Heider & Simmel (1944) simply portrays geometric objects moving around a 2D plane, but people will usually describe the film in anthropomorphic terms, i.e., as as [sic] the social interactions of three human-like characters who posses [sic] personalities, emotions, and intentions.
  2. Find the hidden tiger -- decoding, showing what’s hidden in plain sight, take another look
  3. 2 different types of social change narrative based on audience Story of the battle = mobilizing story. Reaching people who already agree with you and share your assumptions but need to be activated. Battle of the Story = persuasion story. Framing the issue -- must overcome people existing narrative filters to show them WHY it is happening and how it is relevant to them.
