A collection of original essays establishing how wide the
intellectual boundaries of narrative theory have become The
Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Narrative Theories showcases
the latest approaches to diverse narratives across many media and
in numerous disciplines. Attending to literary, digital, visual,
cinematic, televisual, and aural forms of storytelling, this book
brings founders of the field of post-classical narrative theory
together with senior and emerging scholars. This is the first
anthology to consider what narrative is and what it can do in the
wake of various turns in literary studies which have been appearing
in the context of digital media and algorithmic capital. From
mind-centred and philosophical approaches to theories focusing on
gender, race, and sexuality, the chapters touch on poetry, drama,
digital games, podcasts, coding, speculative fiction, the law,
medical narrative, oral storytelling, and comics as well as the
more traditional areas of fiction, TV, and film. This is the future
of narrative theory. Key Features: Includes popular culture genres
(comics, video games, coding) not covered in depth in other
companions to narrative theory Showcases essays on narrative
dimensions of law, medical ethics, linguistics, and philosophy as
well as more obviously narrative genres Attention given to race,
gender, sexuality distributed throughout the volume, not isolated
in a single section New essays by superstars in narrative theory
(Phelan, McHale, Lanser, Richardson, Abbott, Currie) as well as
other well respected and emerging scholars
