C'est un parcours sur les sentiers du temps que ce livre propose, d'une plume vive et engagée. À la rencontre de quelques spectres, des fragments d'un passé personnel, intime parfois même, s'imbriquent dans le récit historien taraudé de questions. Quel est le rapport au temps selon les sociétés ? Quels liens l'histoire peut-elle nouer avec la psychanalyse ? L'écriture de l'histoire peut-elle être neutre - et doit-elle l'être ? Quelle part y occupent les émotions et l'intensité des sensibilités ? Ces pages vagabondent aussi parmi des romans, pour agripper en eux la matière du temps, robuste, charnelle, étourdissante. Les morts reviennent ici à la vie : car l'histoire est peuplée de fantômes qui viennent nous visiter sans toujours nous hanter. L'ouvrage part à la recherche d'un temps ravivé où surgit l'intensité historique celle de l'événement en particulier. C'est l'occasion d'explorer les rapports de générations, leurs conflits et plus encore leurs solidarités, dans une écriture au présent, où l'on pense possible d'abolir l'imparfait : les temps grammaticaux expriment tant de choses sur nos sociétés, leurs conceptions de l'avenir comme celles du passé. Le livre s'aventure pour finir sur quelques chemins d'espoir ouvrant sur d'autres temps, des futurs imaginés mais non pas imaginaires pour autant : afin que vienne enfin un temps dont on s'éprenne.

"This volume is the first to systematically analyze ancient narrative theory in German. The guiding principle is the theory that, although ancient authors like Aristotle were the forerunners of the modern categories of narrative theories, many concepts have been reinterpreted in the course of their reception. It is against this backdrop that this monograph identifies the specific features of ancient narrative theory"-- Provided by Publisher.

In the course of the sixth century AD a remarkable change takes place in the form of Western literary narrative. Dramatic mimesis, which in classical and late antique narrative had always been exceptional, and therefore a mark of the importance of whatever event it was used to represent, becomes systematic. The action of a story turns into a series of scenes described by a self-effacing narrator, as if we were seeing them take place. In this study Joaquin Martinez Pizarro focuses on the scene as the characteristic minimal unit, and on its elements: dialogue, gestures, and significant objects. The scene gives to early medieval narrative an extraordinary animation and vividness. But these qualities, which would appear to entail a richly visual form of representation, are combined instead with an abstract, schematic interest. The staging of each scene is clearly subordinated to a concept or point, and no more of the action is described than this overriding purpose requires. The style, at the same time dramatic and highly conceptual, realistic yet uninterested in showing reality, is of considerable intrinsic interest, and stands in marked contrast to the form of high- and late-medieval narrative. It has been little studied because its chief monuments are not vernacular but Greek and Latin, and not fictional but historical in a board sense. Pizarro draws on such authors as Gregory of Tours, Paul the Deacon, Agnellus of Ravenna, and Notker Balbulus to analyse the elements of scenic form, referring to Byzantine narratives of the period to supplement his analysis and provide a basis for comparison.

Monster texts like Frankenstein reflect monstrosity in their narrative structure to create narratives of resistance against systemic cultural oppression. This book uses different critical theories to trace these narrative patterns in novels by Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood and Angela Carter.

Narrative has been the subject of theoretical reflection and empirical investigation since Aristotle's Poetics. However, with the turn of the millennium, we are witnessing a real narrative turn in the humanities and social sciences. This volume aims to provide an overview of recent developments in the theoretical analysis of narrative, offering the reader a series of contributions that are organized along the following three theoretical-disciplinary axes: theories of narrative at the intersection of cognitive, evolutionary, and computational approaches; narrative theory and cognitive neuroscience; and narrative and storytelling as socio-communicative phenomena.
