Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Research focused on authored literary works falls outside the scope of this journal. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation. Narrative Culture was founded by Ulrich Marzolph and Regina F. Bendix, both of the University of Göttingen, Germany. Its first issue appeared in 2014. Francisco Vaz da Silva joined the editorial team in 2019. In 2024, Sheila Bock (University of Nevada, Las Vegas; USA) and Elo-Hanna Seljamaa (University of Tartu; Estonia) started as editors. The journal, which is affiliated to the International Society for Folk Narrative Research (ISFNR), offers an international forum for the multidisciplinary study of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also a large variety of other forms of narrative in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture regards narrative and narration as a core component and central practice in the human condition. Its editorial policy encourages scholarship that documents, discusses, and theorizes narrative culture while paying particular attention to the multifaceted appearance and interaction of narratives in all dimensions of human life and culture. Research focused on authored literary works falls outside the scope of this journal.
