Pour une "littérature appliquée": le storytelling et les mondes professionnels, un état de l'art

The idea of cooperation between academic and extra-academic worlds is still seen as part of a general debate about the amendment of higher education system. The core issue of this debate is how to make the education closer to the world of work strengthening the relations between the universities, the businesses and the institutions. This means to reach a "state of the art" in terms of opportunities and challenges, to match better the skills provided by liberal arts education with the requirements of the world of business. Thus, we’ll try to draw as complete picture as possible of professional development paths in humanities in order to promote higher results capable to meet the expectations of extra-academic world. The author offers an overview of storytelling and its applications in different fields of the world of work in order to facilitate the advent of an "applied literature".
