#117: Children’s Augmented Reality Narratives: Exploring Forest Entanglements and More-than-Human Storytelling

This study examines how children’s augmented stories compose multispecies relationality through narrative, spatial, and material engagements with the forest. Grounded in posthuman and sociomaterial perspectives, we analyzed how children, environments, and digital technologies participate in storytelling. Findings show that nonhuman beings acted as co-narrators, the forest shaped narrative development, and augmented reality intra-acted in situ composition, enabling children to construct hybrid storyworlds through embodied and collaborative engagement with place.
