• Endpaper - Fiction reaches a new level - Telegraph: The most challenging questions posed by games strike at the roots of written narrative. Players used to follow a prearranged story, dragged in the wake of plot events triggered by specific actions within the game world, but the new generation of games flirts with a different model. Here, ?low-level inputs? ? the way the player interacts with non-essential characters, or the cumulative effect that his or her actions have in the world ? are far more important.
• Clio Bluestocking Tales: Abolition as a Self-Help Movement - "I became painfully aware that my students... have been indoctrinated into a culture of "achievement" and "self-help" to the point that that they do not have the language to describe relation...: "I'm seeing the students attempt to evaluate abolitionist tactics -- the ways that a handful of people attempted to eradicate a system of human property -- using a wholly inadequate narrative. In this narrative, if you work hard enough, if you believe enough in yourself, if you persevere, then you will succeed and have a better life.... They attempt to describe the failures of the abolitionist movement as the personal failures of individuals and using the same buzzwords that we hear in the sound-bite attacks of politicians who aren't getting their way. ... I doubt that either Douglass or Tubman would see the problems facing slaves or abolitionists as personal weaknesses or a poor work ethic. They both spoke of systems of power. They spoke of injustice that prevented hard-working, determined, persevering people from being anything more than chattel. They intended to end that injustice by attacking the system, slavery."

• About Narrative Therapy: Narrative therapy is a respectful and collaborative approach to counselling and community work. It focuses on the stories of people?s lives and is based on the idea that problems are manufactured in social, cultural and political contexts. Each person produces the meaning of their life from the stories that are available in these contexts. A wider meaning of narrative therapy relates significantly to a relatively recent way of thinking about the nature of human life and knowledge which has come to be known as ?postmodernism ? ? which believes there is no one objective ?truth? and that there are many multiple possible interpretation s of any event. Thus within a narrative approach, our lives are seen as multi-storied vs. single-storied .
