This volume enacts a project we term 'a politics of form', working
to politicise the formal analysis of narrative in novels, life
narratives, documentaries, dramas, short prose works and multimodal
texts while retaining the form specificity that is distinctive of
narratology. The introduction offers an overview of how to perform
narrative analysis in conjunction with ideological critique, while
the chapters unite the formal analysis of texts with readings that
uncover how structures of social power are expressed in, as well as
challenged by, aesthetic forms. The contributors address the need
to develop sustained political analysis of aesthetic and narrative
forms, and they articulate methods for performing such analysis
while reflecting on the politics of the work they undertake. By
establishing criteria to describe the politicised use of narrative
forms, and by historicising narratological concepts, the volume
bridges theoretical gaps between narratology, critical theory and
cultural analysis, resulting in the refinement of existing
narratological models. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the European Journal of English Studies.
