Narrative Research, once the domain of structuralist literary
theory, has over the last 15 years developed into an international
and interdisciplinary field. It is now commonly agreed that
storytelling functions as a fundamental cognitive tool for
sense-making and meaning production, and that human beings
structure and communicate lived experience through oral, written
and visual stories. Entitled Narratology in the Age of
Cross-Disciplinary Narrative Research, this volume collects fifteen
essays which look at narrative and narrativity from various
perspectives, including literary studies and hermeneutics,
cognitive theory and creativity research, metaphor studies, film
theory and intermediality, as well as memory studies, musicology,
theology and psychology. The topics touch on a wide range of
issues, such as the current state of narratology and its potential
for development, narrativity in visual and auditive art forms, the
cultural functions of narrative, and the role of narrative concepts
across the disciplines. The volume introduces interested newcomers
to the ongoing debate, reflecting the diversity of research
questions and methodological approaches involved. It takes a
critical, yet cautiously optimistic stance with regard to the
potential for interdisciplinary collaboration between narrative
researchers, and invites experienced readers from any discipline
interested in narrative to join this important debate, which
promotes the exchange of ideas, concepts and methods between the
humanities and the social sciences.
