- Abstract
This essay explores the question of how storytelling and the narrative process can contribute to the coping process of resettlement experiences. Various coping strategies contribute to the actual handling of the experience: In addition to participating in the planning process and the significance of objects of commemoration, it is storytelling as a performative act that helps the resettlers to process the events, which are sometimes perceived as traumatic. These coping strategies play an important role in all four phases of the relocation process: planning, transition, community formation, and handing-over. Storytelling and retelling about the process and the resettlement are important in all phases, but they are little considered in the resettlement research. This essay presents the narratological connectivity to the theoretical models for relocation.
