Mit den "Elementen der antiken Erzähltheorie" wird die erste deutschsprachige Monographie präsentiert, die systematisch das diskursive Feld der antiken Erzähltheorie analysiert. Anlass zu diesem Unternehmen bietet die Tatsache, dass antike Autoren wie Aristoteles häufig als Vorläufer für moderne erzähltheoretische Kategorien diskutiert werden. Auch wenn es derartige Korrespondenzen gibt, lässt sich nicht leugnen, dass antike erzähltheoretische Begriffe im Lauf ihrer Rezeption eine Umdeutung erfahren haben. Vor diesem Hintergrund arbeitet diese Monographie die Besonderheiten der antiken Erzähltheorie heraus.Zu diesem Zweck werden die wichtigsten antiken Reflexionen über das Erzählen, die sich in den verschiedensten Texten und Gattungen finden und in andere Diskurse eingebunden sind, in vier Kapiteln präsentiert: Zunächst werden die Grundlagen der antiken Erzähltheorie erklärt. Im zweiten Kapitel werden diejenigen Reflexionen analysiert, die zur Ebene der Geschichte (was wird erzählt?) gehören, bevor im dritten Kapitel diejenigen Überlegungen behandelt werden, die die Art und Weise der Präsentation betreffen. Abschließend wird untersucht, welche Wirkungen von Erzählungen in der Antike diskutiert wurden. 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.

This book discusses the problem of the reception either of, or in, Thucydides' and Polybius' texts, examining its narrative, historiographical, literary and/or cultural perspectives. It is subdivided into eight meditations. The first meditation presents three methodological procedures (reception, mediation, comparison) which articulate the discussion about the main constituents (political failures, truths) of that problem along the other seven meditations.

Mit Bezug auf Greimas' narrative Semiotik und die Kognitionswissenschaft entwickelt Richter seine Theorie des "narrativen Urteils" als Kernstück "narrativer Problemverhandlung". Eine Erzählung von Erfolg oder Misserfolg eines Handelns stellt ein kontingentes Geschehen dar, fällt aber damit oft gleichzeitig ein Urteil im Namen einer Ordnung, einer Ideologie: Das Gute wird belohnt, das Böse bestraft. Diese Fähigkeit des Erzählens, die Kontingenz des erzählten Einzelnen exemplarisch zu überschreiten oder zu verschleiern, ermöglicht auch die narrative Verhandlung theoretischer Probleme, die im Rahmen der Argumentation unlösbar scheinen. Ausführliche Analysen zweier solcher Problemverhandlungen, des Hiobproblems im Buch Hiob des AT sowie des Theodizeeproblems bei Leibniz, Voltaire, Linné und Kant, zeichnen nach, wie die analoge Projektion einer Erzählstruktur auf die jeweilige Problemkonstellation die Darstellung von Lösungen erlaubt, die innerhalb einer Argumentation willkürliche Setzungen bleiben müssen. Narrative Problemverhandlung kann damit widerstreitende Perspektiven vermitteln und neue Lösungswege zeigen, aber auch willkürliche Urteile zugunsten einer Perspektive rhetorisch zu legitimieren versuchen.

This concise and highly accessible textbook outlines the principles and techniques of storytelling. It is intended as a high-school and college-level introduction to the central concepts of narrative theory – concepts that will aid students in developing their competence not only in analysing and interpreting short stories and novels, but also in writing them. The author prioritises clarity over intricacy of theory, equipping its readers with the necessary tools to embark on further study of literature, literary theory and creative writing. Building on a ‘semiotic model of narrative,’ it is structured around the key elements of narratological theory, with chapters on plot, setting, characterisation, and narration, as well as on language and theme – elements which are underrepresented in existing textbooks on narrative theory. The chapter on language constitutes essential reading for those students unfamiliar with rhetoric, while the chapter on theme draws together significant perspectives from contemporary critical theory (including feminism and postcolonialism). This textbook is engaging and easily navigable, with key concepts highlighted and clearly explained, both in the text and in a full glossary located at the end of the book. Throughout the textbook the reader is aided by diagrams, images, quotes from prominent theorists, and instructive examples from classical and popular short stories and novels. Prose Fiction can either be incorporated as the main textbook into a wider syllabus on narrative theory and creative writing, or it can be used as a supplementary reference book for readers interested in narrative fiction. The textbook is a must-read for students of narratology, especially those with no or limited prior experience in this area. It is of especial relevance to English and Humanities major students in Asia, for whom it was conceived and written. As with all Open Book publications, this entire book is available to read for free on the publisher’s…

Die gesamteuropäische Erzähltradition der Sieben weisen Meister ist trotz ihrer langen und breiten Überlieferungsgeschichte vom 12. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert bisher nur in Teilen erschlossen. Die Studie widmet sich dieser Überlieferungsgeschichte und der besonderen erzählerischen Modularität der Exempelsammlung in einer Untersuchung von 12 deutschsprachigen Versionen und Fassungen, die hermeneutische Lektüren, narratologische Formalisierungen und textstatistische Beobachtungen miteinander verbindet. Auf diese Weise geraten zum einen strukturelle Phänomene – textübergreifende und textspezifische Eigenschaften, Logiken des seriellen Erzählens, Formen der Verknüpfung von Rahmen- und Binnenerzählung – in den Blick. Zum anderen erlauben die Vergleiche informierte Textlektüren, die didaktische, juristische, informationstheoretische und geschlechtergeschichtliche Fragestellungen verfolgen und strukturelle Eigenschaften mit möglichen Bearbeitungsintentionen verbinden. In ihrer methodisch-inhaltlichen Ausrichtung verbindet die Studie Formen der Textanalyse aus der Digitalen Literaturwissenschaft mit Perspektiven der Germanistischen Mediävistik. This study examines the German tradition of the "Seven Wise Masters" in the form of a digital examination that combines hermeneutical readings, narratological formalization, and statistical textual observations. In this way, it focuses on the principle of serial narration, which has had a considerable impact on narrative traditions, as well as the unique features of individual versions and editions.

This collection of essays studies the encounter between allegedly ahistorical concepts of narrative and eighteenth-century literature from across Europe. At issue is the question of whether the theoretical concepts underpinning narratology are, despite their appearance of ahistorical generality, actually derived from the historical study of a particular period and type of literature. The essays take on aspects of eighteenth-century texts such as plot, genre, character, perspective, temporality, and more, coming at them from both a narratological and a historical perspective.

La reconnaissance internationale de la littérature latino-américaine au xxe siècle a souvent été interprétée par la critique comme le résultat de l’influence du modernisme, notamment du fait de la lecture, par les auteurs latino-américains, de James Joyce et de William Faulkner. Certains auteurs du continent, pourtant, suivent des stratégies différentes : Jorge Luis Borges, Adolfo Bioy Casares et Julio Cortázar utilisent les fondements de la littérature de genre (fantastique, policier, horreur, roman d’aventure) pour opérer une reconfiguration des équilibres entre le champ littéraire et les injonctions politiques, nationales et culturelles. Dans cette optique, le travail de Robert Louis Stevenson sur les publics populaires et le croisement des genres peut être vu comme une référence idéale, du fait de sa complexité et de son souci constant d’expérimentation. Cette étude a donc pour objectif de proposer une comparaison de ces stratégies, en utilisant les outils conceptuels et théoriques de la littérature mondiale. Stevenson, de cette manière, pourra apparaître comme un modèle herméneutique pour penser et résoudre certains dilemmes géographiques et littéraires.

Audionarratology is a new 'postclassical' narratology that explores interfaces of sound, voice, music and narrative in different media and across disciplinary boundaries. Drawing on sound studies and transmedial narratology, audionarratology combines concepts from both while also offering fresh insights. Sound studies investigate sound in its various manifestations from disciplinary angles as varied as anthropology, history, sociology, acoustics, articulatory phonetics, musicology or sound psychology. Still, a specifically narrative focus is often missing. Narratology has broadened its scope to look at narratives from transdisciplinary and transmedial perspectives. However, there is a bias towards visual or audio-visual media such as comics and graphic novels, film, TV, hyperfiction and pictorial art. The aim of this book is to foreground the oral and aural sides of storytelling, asking how sound, voice and music support narrative structure or even assume narrative functions in their own right. It brings together cutting-edge research on forms of sound narration hitherto neglected in narratology: radio plays, audiobooks, audio guides, mobile phone theatre, performance poetry, concept albums, digital stories, computer games, songs.
