Book Description | The book addresses two important questions in narrative studies: “What is narrative theory?” And “What is the relationship between narrative approaches to each other?” In its first part, we read a theoretical presentation by theorists in the rhetorical approach, the feminist approach, the mental orientation approach, and the anti-mimetic approach, in which the authors present applied studies of their different positions on specific concepts that include: author, narrator, narration, plot, time, progression of events, space, frame, and perspective. Character, reader reception, and narrative values. Then, in its second part, each author responds to the viewpoints of others, so we see what brings the theoretical sites closer together and what distances them, and we learn about important ongoing discussions that chart developments in the field of narrative. |
