How can we develop a cultural theory starting with the basic insight that human beings are storytelling animals ? Within literary studies, narratology is a highly developed field. However, literary ...historians have not paid much attention to the large and small stories abounding in everyday discourse, guiding all kinds of social activity, and providing common ground for whole societies-but also fueling controversies and hostilities. Moreover, narrative is not only a scholarly category but has come into use in many fields of social activity as a tool for cultural self-fashioning. This book is based on the assumption that to a large extent, social dynamics is modeled in an aesthetic manner via narratives. It explores the narrative organization of cultural spaces and time-frames, the mythological shaping of communities and adversaries, and the co-production of narratives and institutions aimed at stabilizing social life. In this framework, the epistemological problem looms large of how an instrument as unreliable as narrative can participate in the creation of a social consensus regarding truth. This problem endows the general topics explored in this book with a particularly contemporary dimension.

Despite its ubiquity, the cliffhanger has received little critical attention. This essay takes a closer look at the device, and finds that cliffhangers perform important functions for many ...narratives. Drawing on the rhetorical theory of narrative, I define the cliffhanger as a unique misalignment of story and discourse, and consider some of the device’s core features. I highlight aspects of the cliffhanger that demonstrate its range of functions: its effects on narrative progression, its role in highlighting continuity and discontinuity in the story, and its capacity to mislead readers in instrumental ways. I argue that we should attend to what cliffhangers have to say about the narratives they interrupt because cliffhangers are elements of authorial design that serve as signals for interpretation. Whether a cliffhanger misleads its reader or not, it makes a claim about the narrative it interrupts. Acknowledging these claims allows us to better understand how narratives maneuver readers to witness a story as it unfolds.
This article discusses the opposing forces of conservative and liberal ideologies in Samuel Delany’s science fiction novel Stars in My Pocket like Grains of Sand (1984). In this article, I conduct a ...rhetorical analysis of the novelusing James Phelan’s notions of the rhetorical theory of narrative. Laying emphasis on ethical judgments that the novel evokes in the readers, I analyze the rhetorical strategies used in the novel to challenge its readers to reconsider and deconstruct the concepts of gender and sexuality. This article argues that the rhetoric of Stars in My Pocket works largely by juxtaposing conservative and liberal ideologies, societies, and characters. Readers are led to make ethical judgments, which may change during the process of reading. In the end, though, it is clear that the conservative ideology and characters representing it evoke negative ethical judgments, whereas their liberal counterparts are seen in a positive light. By evoking associations between the conservative societies and the world readers live in, Stars in My Pocket presents a compelling social critique of our treatment of otherness, which is as topical today as it was in 1984.
Le Berger extravagant’s plot, a novel published by Charles Sorel in 1627, is based on the adventures of a young man who has decided to live his life as the shepherds in pastoral narratives. The ...novel, entitled Anti-Novel in the second edition of 1633, mirrors the processes of its genre. Thus, the character of the extravagant hero suggests a permanent off-centre point of view which creates a better perspective in considering what should be fiction. How does telling the adventures of an extravagant allow the pragmatic refoundation of the novel around the year 1630 in France?
With narrative judgments as its central concern, this paper pursues four major goals. It begins with a delineation of the general theses about narrative judgments elaborated by James Phelan. Second, ...it attempts to examine the interrelations among different types of narrative judgments. Third, it makes a detailed analysis of the effects of narrative judgments. Fourth and finally, it tries to present some critical reflections on Phelan's rhetorical theory of narrative judgments, suggesting some potential issues for further investigation.
Koron’s monograph explores a vast field of theory – occassionally called post-classical narratology – from the historical-developmental and the systematic or theoretical-methodological perspectives. ...The first part of the book treats the theoretical preliminaries, basic concepts, terminological questions, delimitations of the research subject, and the definitions of narrative. The second part outlines the history of narrative theories, divided into several phases, and the formation of its concepts. The third part discusses Slovenian contributions to the field and compares them to the international state of research. The fourth part examines the applicability of contemporary narratological approaches to concrete texts. It treats the concept of omniscient narration, aspects of narratology of drama and the phenomenon of narrativity in the plays of Dušan Jovanović (1939–), the development of gendered narratology, the introduction of narratological concepts in autobiographies and concludes the discussion with entering the interdisciplinary field of historiographical narratology.
: Based on Jung's definition of archetype the concept ‘archetypal story pattern’ is developed as well as a research method drawing on narrative analysis and biographical research to identify these ...archetypal story patterns in life stories. Jung pointed out that personal myths, archetypal patterns found, e.g., in mythology, can govern the life course of individuals unconsciously. In the Theory of Narrative Identity comparable concepts have been mentioned but were never fully developed. In my research I try to combine Jung's concept of the archetype with the elaborated methodology of narrative analysis. Archetypes can manifest as narratives and the identity construction of a person via narrating the life story can be influenced or even totally structured by archetypal stories which give a specific form as well as a specific meaning to the person's identity.
The method of extracting an underlying archetypal pattern from an autobiographical narrative is demonstrated. The results of the research on 20 autobiographical interviews and the inherent archetypal patterns are summarized. The major aim of this paper is to describe in detail the application of a well established method of the social sciences on a key concept of Jungian psychology to show that these concepts can be integrated into recent research frameworks of academic sciences. On the other hand it shows that Jungian concepts can be investigated through established and well defined research methods in empirical research settings.

S'appuyant sur la définition de Jung de l'archétype l'auteur développe le concept de ‘schéma archétypal de l'histoire’ ainsi qu'une méthode de recherche qui prend aussi appui sur la recherche biographique et l'analyse de la narration pour identifier ces schémas archétypaux de l'histoire dans les histoires de vie. Jung a pointé que dans les mythes personnels, les schémas archétypaux comme on les trouve dans la mythologie, peuvent diriger le déroulement de la vie des individus de manière inconsciente. On trouve dans la théorie des narrations personnelles des concepts comparables mais ceux‐ci n'ont jamais été développés totalement. Dans ma recherche j'essaie de combiner le concept d'archétype de Jung et la méthodologie élaborée de l'analyse de la narration. Les archétypes peuvent se manifester sous forme de narration, et la construction d'identité d'une personne par la narration de l'histoire de sa vie peut être influencée ou même totalement structurée par les histoires archétypales qui donnent une forme spécifique ainsi qu'un sens spécifique à l'identité de la personne.
Une démonstration est faite de la méthode d'extraction de la narration autobiographique du schéma archétypal sous jacent. Un résumé des résultats d'une recherche sur 20 interviews autobiographiques et les schémas archétypaux dégagés est donné. Le but principal de cet article est de décrire en détails l'application d'une méthode bien structurée des sciences sociales sur un concept clé de la psychologie jungienne pour montrer que ces concepts peuvent être intégrés dans les cadres récents de recherche des sciences académiques. Cela montre aussi que les concepts jungiens peuvent être explorés avec des méthodes de recherche bien définies et établies et des mises en place propre à la recherche empirique.
Basierend auf Jungs Begriff des Archetyps wird das Konzept “archetypisches Geschichtenmuster” entwickelt und eine narrationsanalytische Forschungsmethode vorgestellt, mit der solche archetypischen Geschichtenmuster in Lebensgeschichten bestimmt werden können. Jung hat aufgezeigt, daß archetypische Muster, wie wir sie in der Mythologie finden, in der Form persönlicher Mythen die Lebensgestaltung von Menschen bestimmen können. In der sog. Theorie der Narrativen Identität werden ähnliche Konzepte erwähnt, wurden aber bislang nicht weiterentwickelt. In dem Artikel wird eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung vorgestellt, in der versucht wurde, Jungs Archetypenkonzept mit der ausdifferenzierten Methodologie der Narrationsanalyse zu verknüpfen. Es wurde dabei davon ausgegangen, daß sich Archetypen auch in narrrativer Form manifestieren können und die Identität einer Person, wie sie sich in der erzählten Lebensgeschichte zeigt, prägen können, indem sie der Lebensgeschichte eine spezifische Gestalt und Bedeutung geben.
Die Methodik, wie aus einer autobiographischen Erzählung ein zugrundeliegendes archetypisches Geschichtenmuster freigelegt wird, wird an einem Fallbeispiel vorgestellt. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung mit 20 autobiographischen Erzählinterviews und die Typologie der aufgefundenen archetypischen Geschichtenmuster werden zusammengefaßt. Ziel des Artikels ist vor allem darzustellen, daß eine in den Sozialwissenschaften etablierte Forschungsmethode sich fruchtbar auf eine Schlüsselkonzept der Jungschen Psychologie anwenden läßt und diese sich somit mit aktuellen Forschungsstrategien verknüpfen läßt. Jungsche Konzepte lassen sich auf diese Weise mit etablierten und ausdifferenzierten Forschungsmethoden empirisch untersuchen.
Una metodologia della narrazione per identificare i modelli storici archetipici nei racconti autobiografici. Basato sulla definizione di Jung di archetipo il concetto di ‘ modello storico archetipico’ viene sviluppato come un metodo che attinge all'analisi narrativa e alla ricerca biografica per identificare tali modelli storici archetipici nelle storie di vita. Jung mese in evidenza il fatto che i miti personali, i modelli archetipici individuati ad esempio nella mitologia possono influenzare inconsciamente il corso della vita degli individui.. Nella Teoria dell'Identità Narrativa cocetti simili sono stati già menzionati, ma mai pienamente sviluppati. Nella mia ricerca cerco di mettere insieme il concetto junghiano di archetipo con l'elaborata metodologia dell'analisi della narrazione. Gli archetipi possono manifestarsi come narrazione e la costruzione dell'identità di una persona attraverso la narrazione della storia della vita può essere influenzata o persino totalmente strutturata da storie archetipiche che danno una forma specifica, come anche uun significato specifico all'identità della persona.
Viene poi dimostrato il metodo attraverso il quale si estrae da una narrazione autobiografica un sottostante modello archetipico. Vengono sintetizzati i risultati di una ricerca su 20 interviste autobiografiche e i modelli archetipici ad esse sottostanti. Lo scopo principale di questo lavoro è quello di descrivere dettagliatamente l'applicazione di un metodo ben affermato delle scienze sociali su un concetto chiave della psicologia junghiana per mostrare come tali concetti possono essere integrati negli schemi di recenti ricerche delle scienze accademiche. Da un altro lato esso mostra che i concetti junghiani possono essere investigati attraverso affermati e ben definiti metodi nel setting delle ricerche empiriche.
Basado en la definición de arquetipo de Jung se desarrolla el concepto de ‘patron del cuento arquetipal’ así como un método de investigación descrito sobre la narrativa y exploración para identificar estos patrones arquetípicos en las historias de la vida. Ya apuntaba Jung que los patrones arquetipales de los mitos arquetípicos presentes por ejemplo en mitología, pueden gobernar inconscientemente el curso de la vida de los individuos. En la Teoría de la Narrativa de la Identidades mencionan conceptos comparables los cuales no fueron totalmente desarrollados. En mi pesquisa trtaré de combinar el concepto de Jung de arquetipo con la elaborad metodología del análisis narrativo. Los arquetipos pueden manifestarse como narrativas y la construcción de la identidad de i=una persona por medio de la narración del cuento personal la cual puede ser influida o totalmente estructurada por los cuentos arquetipales. ellos dan una forma específica así como un significado particular a la identidad personal.
Sedemuestra el método para extraer el patrón arquetípico subyacente en la narrativa autobiográfica. Se resumen los resultados de la investigación de 20 entrevistas autobiográficas y los patrones arquetipales inherentes. El objetivo primordial de este trabajo es describir en detalle la aplicación de un método cuidadosamente establecido en las ciencias sociales sobre un concepto fundamental de la psicología Junguiana para demostrar que estos conceptos pueden ser integrados dentro del marco de la investigación de la ciencia académica actual. En la otra mano se demuestra que los conceptos junguianos pueden ser estudiados a través de métodos de investigación bien definidos en los encuadres de la investigación empírica.
Tras examinar las fechas de escritura y publicación, las ilustraciones de los naipes y las vinculaciones temáticas de las 106 epístolas que integran la obra de Max Aub Juego de cartas (1964), este ...artículo estudia las dimensiones lúdica y experimental de la novela y su estructura abierta, analizando sucesivamente de modo detallado los procedimientos técnicos narrativos empleados por Aub en su composición: disociación autoral y presencia del apócrifo, retextualización ilimitada de la historia narrativa (texto diseminado y montaje abierto), máxima interactividad, diseño caleidoscópico.
Security questions are often based on personal information that is limited in variety, available in the public record and very difficult to change if compromised. A personalized folktale shared only ...by the communicating parties provides memorizable basis for individualized security questions that can be readily replaced in the event of a security breach. We utilize the Propp theory of narrative to provide a basis of abstraction for story generation systems. We develop a proof-of-concept system based on placeholder replacement to demonstrate the generation of repudiate and memorizable questions and answers suitable for online security questions. A 3-component protocol is presented that demonstrates the use of this process to derive a shared secret key through privacy amplification. This combination of story generation and communication security provides the basis for improvements in current security question practice.
