Counter-Narratives of Cancer: Shaping Narrative Agency
In the project Counter-Narratives of Cancer, we examine culturally mediated ways of narrativizing cancer and counter-narratives that challenge dominant narrative practices. We analyze literary fiction, life-writing, media texts, and texts produced in bibliotherapeutic groups and narrative agency workshops. The project enhances narrative awareness and participates in creating more capacious cancer imaginaries that open up new possibilities of agency.
