Postmodern Narrative Theory

from 'Towards a Theory of Postmodern Narrative' by Andrew Gibson
  • pg 3 'Thought about narrative has traditionally concerned itself with two distinct kinds of space... there is the sphere of representation (the real, the homogenous space of the world)... [and] there is the space of the model or describable form (the narratological imaginary has been haunted by something like the reverse of poetic intuition)
  • 'Narratology is pervaded by geometics' eg derrida rousset todorow miekebal
  • pg 5 'narratology had its roots in structuralism... a drive to universalize and essentialise the structural phenomena supposedly uncovered'
  • pg 7 revisinionist narratology: Peter Brooks, Ross Chambers, Karl Kroeber, James Phelan, Marie Laure Ryan, Katherine Hayles, Paisley Livingston, Florence de Chalonge
  • Rushdie 1990 pg4 'hybridity, impurity, intermingling, the transformation that comes of new and unexpected combinations of human beings, cultures, idea, politics, movies, songs'
  • Lyotard
