Focusing
on major classical and postclassical theories of narrative, this course aims to
provide students with a thorough account of both formalist/descriptivist and
interpretative/evaluative paradigms in studies of narrative. Students will
explore major issues in recent scholarship on narrative such as narrativity,
(trans)mediality, storyworld, biocularity and digital textuality in connection
with some earlier classical narratological questions regarding narrative
constituency, story’s autonomy and transferability, narrative grammar,
deep/surface narrative structure and so on. This course not only focuses on
theories of verbal narratives but also of visual/verbal, visual, filmic and
multimodal/multimedia/digital narratives. Students will be encouraged to
explore critically the relationship between tools of narrative analysis and
narrative media and seek answers to questions such as how narrativity as well
as narrative analysis might be changing as the media of telling stories change.
This course also aims to help students design a research paper analyzing (a)
narrative text(s) in any medium or media in the light of narrative theories
studied in class.
