The variety in contemporary philosophical and aesthetic thinking as
well as in scientific and experimental research on complexity has
not yet been fully adopted by narratology. By integrating
cutting-edge approaches, this volume takes a step toward filling
this gap and establishing interdisciplinary narrative research on
complexity. Narrative Complexity provides a framework for a more
complex and nuanced study of narrative and explores the experience
of narrative complexity in terms of cognitive processing, affect,
and mind and body engagement. Bringing together leading
international scholars from a range of disciplines, this volume
combines analytical effort and conceptual insight in order to
relate more effectively our theories of narrative representation
and complexities of intelligent behavior. This collection engages
important questions on how narrative complexity functions as an
agent of cultural evolution, how our understanding of narrative
complexity can be extended in light of new research in the social
sciences and humanities, how interactive media produce new types of
narrative complexity, and how the role of embodiment as a factor of
narrative complexity acquires prominence in cognitive science and
media studies. The contributors explore narrative complexity
transmitted through various semiotic channels, embedded in multiple
contexts, and experienced across different media, including film,
comics, music, interactive apps, audiowalks, and ambient
literature.
