The Journal of Corporate Citizenship Issue 54

A Special Issue on Story Telling: Beyond the Academic Article - Using Fiction, Art and Literary Techniques to Communicate

Guest Editors: Nick Barter, Griffith Business School, Griffith University, Australia and Helen Tregidga, AUT University, New Zealand

Dear SIM,

We are pleased to announce The Journal of Corporate Citizenship Issue 54 - A Special Issue on Story Telling: Beyond the Academic Article - Using Fiction, Art and Literary Techniques to Communicate, edited by Nick Barter and Helen Tregidga.

This issue asks: how can we tell our stories differently? How can we go beyond the academic article or sustainability report? All reports and all scholarly pieces are narratives of a sort, each choosing which evidence suits and each having some sense of beginning, middle and end.

Through their use of fiction, art and poetry the seven papers in this Special Issue of The Journal of Corporate Citizenship are challenging what might typically be expected as the form of an academic article.  These challenges include identifying silent voices, linking of our hands, hearts and heads via art, a poem, a napkin to communicate, the life of an average academic, stories of gladiatorial combat for promotion, and a man's day in a non-specific future.

This mix of challenge in both form and message contributes to the ability of the papers to advance understanding, and reinforces how an innovative approach to conveying the message can advance debate.

Please see below for the Table of Contents. The Editorial and Guest Editorial are free to read online, as is Dawn Mannay's open access paper Storytelling beyond the Academy: Exploring Roles, Responsibilities and Regulations in the Open Access Dissemination of Research Outputs and Visual Data.

We are also inviting calls for papers to a Special Issue of the JCC on Large Systems Change. Please see below for more details.
