Perturbatory narration is a heuristic concept, applicable both
quantitatively and qualitatively to a specific type of complex
narratives for which narratology has not yet found an appropriate
classification. This new term refers to complex narrative
strategies that produce intentionally disturbing effects such as
surprise, confusion, doubt or disappointment - effects that
interrupt or suspend immersion in the aesthetic reception process.
The initial task, however, is to indicate what narrative
conventions are, in fact, questioned, transgressed, or given new
life by perturbatory narration. The key to our modeling lies in its
combination of individual procedures of narrative strategies
hitherto regarded as unrelated. Their interplay has not yet
attracted scholarly attention. The essays in this volume present a
wide range of contemporary films from Canada, the USA, Mexico,
Argentina, Spain, France and Germany. The perturbatory narration
concept enables to typify and systematize moments of disruption in
fictional texts, combining narrative processes of deception,
paradox and/or empuzzlement and to analyse these perturbing
narrative strategies in very different filmic texts.
