Abstract

In this chapter, digital storytelling is examined as means of cultural heritage preservation by focusing on personal attachment to stories themselves. In the contemporary digital society, stories are being told and they are being told differently. Thus, digital storytelling is becoming a significant part of social life and seems to be imposing a trend in humanitarian issues. This chapter attempts to examine the issue through a brief literature review on the connection of digital storytelling and cultural heritage. Examples of small-scale studies conducted within academic theses (mainly postgraduate) or funded projects are utilized in order to record the telling or retelling cultural stories, whether in everyday life or in more formal contexts, such as museum visits. Overall, the aim of the chapter is to reach an understanding of how short stories can redefine the way we perceive cultural elements, following the current societal trends for speed and increased interaction.
