Inhalt: Narratives challenge our world views and confront us with new ways of seeing. They dare readers with innovative forms and strategies but also in form of highly conventional texts. Narratives have the power to create a distinct world in the readers’ minds. But how exactly do texts do this? This seminar aims at equipping students with the basic tools of narrative analysis. We will re-visit basic concepts such as the narrator, narrative perspective and character while having a look at major trends in recent scholarship that approach narratives more and more from a cognitive angle. We will get to know ways of narrative world-making, apply and discuss key texts of critical theory, and think about the (different) ways of narration in film. As texts never appear in isolation, we will also consider context and historical conditions that influence forms of narration.
