ABSTRACT
This study proposes ‘Storymetaloguing’ as a new term in the Age of Digital Media, meaning the intricate and multilayered nature of modern storytelling. With the advent of digital and mobile media, storytelling has transcended traditional unidirectional forms and evolved into a rich tapestry of narrative practices, engaging audiences across various interactive platforms. This study aims to delineate the transition from conventional storytelling to Storymetaloguing within the digital media context. The methodological approach involves a systematic review of literature tracing the evolution of narrative forms from oral traditions to the multifaceted digital age, focusing on the increased potential for audience participation and the convergence of various media forms. The results indicate a shift from 'story' as static text to 'storytelling' as a dynamic, interactive act, necessitating the new term 'Storymetaloguing,' which captures the essence of contemporary narratives characterized by their interactivity, multiplicity, and transmediality. As a consequence, ‘Storymetaloguing’ emerges as a more apt descriptor of current narrative practices, especially in light of platforms like the metaverse that facilitate diversified creation and dissemination of stories. Thus, this study can contribute to media and communication discourse by offering a nuanced understanding of storytelling's progression and its implications for future narrative paradigms.
