Using storytelling in culturally situated ways to persuade
This study examines how storytelling is manipulated in culturally meaningful ways for persuasive purposes by describing patterns of storytelling in Chinese criminal courts and analyzing ways in which the court manipulated the form and content of storytelling in order to accomplish multiple persuasive goals — to convince defendants of their guilt, to create an image of justice, and to educate the public about legal and moral conduct.
Keywords: criminal courts, storytelling, persuasion, justice, China
