Stories do not actually exist in the (fictional or factual) world
but are constituted, structured and endowed with meaning through
the process of mediation, i.e. they are represented and transmitted
through systems of verbal, visual or audio-visual signs. The terms
usually proposed to describe aspects of mediation, especially
perspective, point of view, and focalization, have yet to bring
clarity to this field, which is of central importance, not only for
narratology but also for literary and media studies. One crucial
problem about mediation concerns the dimensions of its modeling
effect, particularly the precise status and constellation of the
mediating agents, i.e. author, narrator or presenter and
characters. The question is how are the structure and the meaning
of the story conditioned by these different positions in relation
to the mediated happenings perceived from outside and/or inside the
storyworld? In this volume, fourteen articles by international
scholars from seven different countries address these problems anew
from various angles, reviewing the sub-categorization of mediation
and re-specifying its dimensions both in literary texts and other
media such as drama and theater, film, and computer games.
