Narrative, Digitality, Well-Being Narrative, Digitality, Wellbeing adopts a transdisciplinary approach in exploring new forms of narrative that have emerged in a digital age, an age of new online practices that are both associated with increased risk and enhanced sense of identity. The book examines new literary narratives, new philosophies of digitality, and new approaches to cross-disciplinary work between narrative theory and psychology in the context of digital environments, interactions, and practices. It also explores through textual analysis and quantitative and qualitative analysis how users shape and understand these new narrative interactions for their own wellbeing and how educators assess the relationships between narratives and wellbeing in the classroom and lecture theatre. The book argues that theories of narrative need to be updated to account for these new forms of narrative and to account for the new ways narrative is employed by users to enhance wellbeing.
