ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that a signature methodology for developing and articulating a critical post-humanism in the health humanities may be digital/multimedia storytelling, a creative research method that puts video-making technologies into the hands of justice-seeking groups to disrupt the normative standards of the human that create barriers to health care, and expand our thinking about what bodies of difference can do and become. Video-making methods hold potential for changing not only how difference is storied, but also how difference is experienced and responded to—in health care and society. This chapter briefly describes one way that arts- and story-based researchers might incorporate critical post-humanist theory into the health humanities using digital storywork, by taking an orientation that foregrounds community making and invites failure as integral to learning and transformational change.
