SUMMARY:Uncertain States: Narrative Journalism and Its Limits
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will explore the possibilities and constraint
 s of narrative journalism as it is practiced today. Particip
 ants will reflect on issues central to this mode of journali
 sm\, which are nevertheless rarely scrutinized: choices of t
 one and structure\, selection of themes\, front stories\, argum
 ents\, or central characters\, and how to portray situations t
 hat don’t lend themselves to tidy conclusions. What's at 
 stake in embracing the murky and indeterminate—the less im
 mediately sympathetic protagonist\, the not-so-easily resolve
 d predicament—at a time when the demand for moral and poli
 tical decisiveness\, for clear-cut villains and victims\, has 
 grown acute? How to handle issues of translation not simply
  across languages but across sensibilities and worldviews? W
 hat are the implications of long-term\, immersive reporting t
 hat resists the immediacy of the news cycle? We'll also be a
 ddressing the question of intervening—or not—in the live
 s of those we write about\, particularly in the context of su
 ffering or injustice. How\, in our work\, have we confronted t
 he limits of journalistic "objectivity?” What to make of t
 he entrenched notion that journalism and advocacy are distin
 ct\, even incompatible\, endeavors? Have there been moments in
  our reporting when these lines have become blurred\, perhaps
  necessarily or productively so?
