Description de l'ouvrage :
A collection of original essays establishing how wide the intellectual boundaries of narrative theory have become
The Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Narrative Theories showcases the latest approaches to diverse narratives across many media and in numerous disciplines. Attending to literary, digital, visual, cinematic, televisual, and aural forms of storytelling, this book brings founders of the field of post-classical narrative theory together with senior and emerging scholars.
This is the first anthology to consider what narrative is and what it can do in the wake of various turns in literary studies which have been appearing in the context of digital media and algorithmic capital. From mind-centred and philosophical approaches to theories focusing on gender, race, and sexuality, the chapters touch on poetry, drama, digital games, podcasts, coding, speculative fiction, the law, medical narrative, oral storytelling, and comics as well as the more traditional areas of fiction, TV, and film. This is the future of narrative theory.
Key Features:
• Includes popular culture genres (comics, video games, coding) not covered in depth in other companions to narrative theory
• Showcases essays on narrative dimensions of law, medical ethics, linguistics, and philosophy as well as more obviously narrative genres
• Attention given to race, gender, sexuality distributed throughout the volume, not isolated in a single section
• New essays by superstars in narrative theory (Phelan, McHale, Lanser, Richardson, Abbott, Currie) as well as other well respected and emerging scholars
À propos des auteurs :
Zara Dinnen is Lecturer in Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Literature in the School of English and Drama at Queen Mary University of London, where she specializes in digital culture, new media arts, contemporary literature, and narrative theories. Her book, The Digital Banal: New Media and American Literature and Culture (Columbia University Press, 2017) recovers the novel conditions of becoming-with-technology latent in seemingly boring everyday encounters with digital media.
Robyn Warhol is Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of English and Chair of the Department of English at The Ohio State University, where she is a core faculty member of Project Narrative. Her most recent books are Narrative Theory Unbound: Queer and Feminist Interventions (co-edited with Susan S. Lanser, Ohio State University Press, 2015) and Love among the Archives: Writing the Lives of Sir George Scharf, Victorian Bachelor (co-authored with Helena Michie, Edinburgh University Pres, 2015).
