Book Synopsis The Dynamics of Narrative Form by : John Pier
Download or read book The Dynamics of Narrative Form written by John Pier and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By redefining established topics of narratology, research has become highly diversified. The contributions to this volume neither synthesize developments nor work from shared postulates, but represent a fresh look at ongoing issues. Some scrutinize focalisation in a linguistic framework or in a poststructuralist vein; others take on reliable and unreliable narration in a pronominal perspective or the "unaddressed" reader who upsets the tidy schemes of narrative communication. Also outlined are a possible worlds approach to narrative time, a systematic treatment of metanarrative and a transgeneric application of narratology to poetry. The sequential ordering of narratives as a way of controlling reader response is examined in one article and in another is seen to elicit intertextual configurations. Both divergent and complementary, the contributions seek to integrate into narratological categories and methods the dynamic processes of narrative itself.
Book Synopsis Emerging Ritual in Secular Societies by : Jeltje Gordon-Lennox
Download or read book Emerging Ritual in Secular Societies written by Jeltje Gordon-Lennox and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing absence of meaningful ritual in contemporary Western societies has led to cohesive research on the history of ritualizing behaviour in different cultures. The relatively new field of ritology, which includes neuroscience, anthropology, cultural psychology, psychotherapy and even art and performance, raises questions about the significance and practice of ritual today. This book is the first of its kind to discuss the importance of secular rituals for cultural and personal growth. Using a transdisciplinary approach, a range of contributors provide an authoritative account of the science and history of rituals and their role in creating healthy societies in the modern age.

Book Synopsis Narratology beyond Literary Criticism by : Jan Christoph Meister
Download or read book Narratology beyond Literary Criticism written by Jan Christoph Meister and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology presents the results of the Second International Colloquium of the Narratology Research Group (Hamburg University). It engages in the exploration of approaches that broaden Narratology's realm. The contributions illustrate the transcendence of traditional models common to Narratology. They also reflect on the relevance of such a 'going beyond' as seen in more general terms: What interrelation can be observed between re-definition of object domain and re-definition of method? What potential interfaces with other methods and disciplines does the proposed innovation offer? Finally, what are the repercussions of the proposed innovation in terms of Narratology's self-definition? The innovative volume facilitates the inter-methodological debate between Narratology and other disciplines, enabling the conceptualization of a Narratology beyond traditional Literary Criticism.
Book Synopsis Analyzing Digital Fiction by : Alice Bell
Download or read book Analyzing Digital Fiction written by Alice Bell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for and read on a computer screen, digital fiction pursues its verbal, discursive and conceptual complexity through the digital medium. It is fiction whose structure, form and meaning are dictated by the digital context in which it is produced and requires analytical approaches that are sensitive to its status as a digital artifact. Analyzing Digital Fiction offers a collection of pioneering analyses based on replicable methodological frameworks. Chapters include analyses of hypertext fiction, Flash fiction, Twitter fiction and videogames with approaches taken from narratology, stylistics, semiotics and ludology. Essays propose ways in which digital environments can expand, challenge and test the limits of literary theories which have, until recently, predominantly been based on models and analyses of print texts.

Book Synopsis Focalizing Dynamic Links by : Michael Picucci
Download or read book Focalizing Dynamic Links written by Michael Picucci and published by Michael Picucci. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is clear we are in the middle of a crisis and that at the same time there are good possibilities available to us. The evolution of humanity is at a turning point. The perceived "right way" to do things has been anything but. Seeing individuals as only that, and not also as part of a larger whole, has gotten us where we are today. We need new human technologies that respectfully and effectively bridge the arc from outdated paradigms to emerging new awareness. Focalizing Dynamic Links is presented as such a technology, bringing a conscious intention to relationship so that the energy shared and exchanged is for the good of each person, and for the good of us all. As such, it provides the opportunity for connecting and communicating in a new way, effecting transformation through our institutions and organizations. Dynamic Linking provides a bigger picture of "now" along with points of projection that can help participants to sense the way things might be. "Focalizing Dynamic Links describe a simple process for optimizing our potential in becoming mature and responsible human beings in our relationships with one another and our home, planet Earth. The authors have created a formula for living and working together consciously." - John Renesch, author The Great Growing Up: Being Responsible for Humanity's Future San Francisco CA "Focalizing Dynamic Links demonstrates how dissolving the barrier to real communication unleashes our power and resilience drawing additional positive energies into relationships and organizations. This dynamic interplay is a guiding light in creating happier, more sustainable lives. A book that describes a potent new human technology; Great!" - Jennifer McCrea, author The Generosity Network New York, NY "I love this new book! The authors have successfully explained both the essence and dynamics of Focalizing and that of Dynamic Linking. Through these new human technologies we learn to feel with both our senses and our awareness just how intimate we already are with our non-visible partner, Source Energy. Playing in this limitless field of possibilities an organic process expresses a naturally creative emergence of inner wisdom, creativity and elevated sense of just feeling wonderful." - Shabd Sangeet Khalsa, Botanist Fairbanks Alaska "Focalizing Dynamic Links is an incredible, simple, and beautiful introduction to a new form of engagement with others and in turn, a new plane of reality. There is no hyperbole here. The ideas in this book will open you up to a world of possibility, wonder, and magic." - Sam Faeder, Athlete, Millennial Entrepreneur Brooklyn NY Focalizing Dynamic Links is the second in a series of three books about the human technology of Focalizing. The first, Focalizing Source Energy, provides a means for transcending talk therapy with a no-shame, no-blame, right-here, right-now healing method. Dr. Picucci is currently writing the final book in the series.

Book Synopsis Cybertext Poetics by : Markku Eskelinen
Download or read book Cybertext Poetics written by Markku Eskelinen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-03-08 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equally interested in what is and what could be, Cybertext Poetics combines ludology and cybertext theory to solve persistent problems and introduce paradigm changes in the fields of literary theory, narratology, game studies, and digital media. The book first integrates theories of print and digital literature within a more comprehensive theory capable of coming to terms with the ever-widening media varieties of literary expression, and then expands narratology far beyond its current confines resulting in multiple new possibilities for both interactive and non-interactive narratives. By focusing on a cultural mode of expression that is formally, cognitively, affectively, socially, aesthetically, ethically and rhetorically different from narratives and stories, Cybertext Poetics constructs a ludological basis for comparative game studies, shows the importance of game studies to the understanding of digital media, and argues for a plurality of transmedial ecologies.
Download or read book Virgil's Gaze written by J. D. Reed and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virgil's Aeneid invites its reader to identify with the Roman nation whose origins and destiny it celebrates. But, as J. D. Reed argues in Virgil's Gaze, the great Roman epic satisfies this identification only indirectly--if at all. In retelling the story of Aeneas' foundational journey from Troy to Italy, Virgil defines Roman national identity only provisionally, through oppositions to other ethnic identities--especially Trojan, Carthaginian, Italian, and Greek--oppositions that shift with the shifting perspective of the narrative. Roman identity emerges as multivalent and constantly changing rather than unitary and stable. The Roman self that the poem gives us is capacious--adaptable to a universal nationality, potentially an imperial force--but empty at its heart. However, the incongruities that produce this emptiness are also what make the Aeneid endlessly readable, since they forestall a single perspective and a single notion of the Roman. Focusing on questions of narratology, intertextuality, and ideology, Virgil's Gaze offers new readings of such major episodes as the fall of Troy, the pageant of heroes in the underworld, the death of Turnus, and the disconcertingly sensual descriptions of the slain Euryalus, Pallas, and Camilla. While advancing a highly original argument, Reed's wide-ranging study also serves as an ideal introduction to the poetics and principal themes of the Aeneid.
Download or read book Retranslation written by Sharon Deane-Cox and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retranslation is a phenomenon which gives rise to multiple translations of a particular work. But theoretical engagement with the motivations and outcomes of retranslation often falls short of acknowledging the complex nature of this repetitive process, and reasoning has so far been limited to considerations of progress, updating and challenge; there is even less in the way of empirical study. This book seeks to redress the balance through its case studies on the initial translations and retranslations of Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Sand's pastoral tale La Mare au diable within the British literary context. What emerges is a detailed exposition of how and why these works have been retold, alongside a critical re-evaluation of existing lines of enquiry into retranslation. A flexible methodology for the study of retranslations is also proposed which draws on Systemic Functional Grammar, narratology, narrative theory and genetic criticism.
