Rezensionen

"In this judicious and readable study, Zhang and Gong explain where Digital Storytelling comes from, why it matters, and how to do it. They introduce it to China, reinventing it as a powerful pedagogical tool for the algorithmic era, because everyone is an outsider sometimes."

John Hartley, University of Sydney, Australia

"He Zhang's and Qian Gong's well written exposition of their engaging and revealing digital storytelling work with migrant Chinese students, demonstrates only too well the value of making and sharing-in-the-flesh considered narratives, both as 'tools for conviviality' (Illich) and as another way of 'being in the truth' (Hoggart)."

Daniel Meadows PhD, creative director, BBC Capture Wales (2001-2006)

"Delivering rich understanding of experiences of migration in China and Australia, this important study details how radical workshop-based digital storytelling remains impactful, as practice and as research, at a time when privately owned corporations offer myriad possibilities for self-representation, but not often for reflection, listening and creativity, off and online."

Nancy Thumim, University of Leeds, UK
