Narratology has been conceived from its earliest days as a project
that transcends disciplines and media. The essays gathered here
address the question of how narrative migrates, mutates, and
creates meaning as it is expressed across various media.
Dividing the inquiry into five areas: face-to-face narrative,
still pictures, moving pictures, music, and digital media,
"Narrative across Media" investigates how the intrinsic properties
of the supporting medium shape the form of narrative and affect the
narrative experience. Unlike other interdisciplinary approaches to
narrative studies, all of which have tended to concentrate on
narrative across language-supported fields, this unique collection
provides a much-needed analysis of how narrative operates when
expressed through visual, gestural, electronic, and musical means.
In doing so, the collection redefines the act of storytelling.
Although the fields of media and narrative studies have been
invigorated by a variety of theoretical approaches, this volume
seeks to avoid a dominant theoretical bias by providing instead a
collection of concrete studies that inspire a direct look at texts
rather than relying on a particular theory of interpretation. A
contribution to both narrative and media studies, "Narrative across
Media" is the first attempt to bridge the two disciplines.
