Inhalt
Why do readers empathise with fictional characters? To what effect do narratives break with real-world frames and feature dead or unborn narrators? How can a story be told by a dog? How can poems, movies, paintings, videogames or cartoons be accommodated into narratological models? And how is storytelling enmeshed with ideology? Do the gender, sexual and ethnic identities of a narrator make a difference? – These are only some of the questions that have been dealt with by postclassical narratologists over the past three decades.

Since its structuralist beginnings in the mid-1960s and a first ‘classical phase’ (– early 1980s), the field of narratology has seen methodological and thematic extensions as well as (more radical) revisions, contestations and diversifications, to the point when Ansgar Nünning – as early as 2003 – questioned the usefulness of keeping ‘narratology’ as an overarching term for the ever-proliferating number of ‘postclassical narratologies’. Ever since its first coinage in David Herman’s seminal study Narratologies: New Perspectives on Narrative Analysis (1999), the label ‘postclassical narratology’ has come to denominate a set of interdisciplinary, pragmatic, context- and reader-oriented narratologies which, in opposition to classical models striving to develop ‘universal’ categories, “consider the circumstances that make every act of reading different” (Herman/Vervaeck 2005).

After a revision of the classical narratologies of especially Tvetan Todorov, Franz Stanzel and Gérard Genette and Seymour Chatman, we will dedicate each session to the theory as well as methodology and application of a distinctive postclassical narratological approach. Students will be asked to read theoretical texts in preparation for each meeting as well as (excerpts from) fictional and non-fictional texts.

Among the postclassical narratologies we will cover are: transgeneric and transmedial narratology, rhetorical narratology, cognitive, natural and unnatural narratology, feminist, queer and postcolonial narratology, ideology and narrative, narratology beyond the human.

Please note: for students participating in this seminar, the online Master Class held by narratologist Prof. Dr. Jan Alber (RWTH Aachen) on 17 and 18 December is mandatory.
