 THE Narrative SOCIETY

The Society for the Study of Narrative Literature is an international nonprofit association of scholars dedicated to the investigation of narrative; its elements, techniques, and forms; its relations to other modes of discourse; and its power and influence in cultures past and present.

“Narrative” for us is a category that may include the novel, epic poetry, history, biography, autobiography, film, the graphic , music, performance, legal writing, medical case histories, and more.

The Society sponsors the International Conference on Narrative each year. The first conference was held at The Ohio State University in 1986, and in subsequent years, the meeting has been held at sites across the , Canada, and France. At each conference, approximately 300 speakers address issues of narrative from a variety of positions and perspectives.

There are currently approximately a thousand members in SSNL, and new members are always welcome. Membership in the Society includes a subscription to Narrative (winner of the 1993 award for Best New Journal from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals), as well as to the Society’s newsletter, which contains information about the annual conference, MLA sessions, the online discussion group, and other activities.

The Barbara Perkins and George Perkins Award

In 1994, acting on the suggestion of its President, Janice Carlisle, The Society for the Study of Narrative Literature established an award that “honors the many past and continuing contributions of Barbara Perkins and George Perkins to the development and success of the Society, including the founding of both The Journal of Narrative Technique and the Society itself. The award, presented annually to the book that makes the most significant contribution to the study of narrative,” offers a prize of $1000 plus a contribution of $500 toward expenses for the winning author to attend the Narrative Conference where the award will be presented. The first Perkins Award was announced at the MLA meeting in Chicago in December, 1995, and presented at the Tenth Anniversary Conference at The Ohio State University in April 1996.

This year the Perkins Prize will be judged by Professors Dorothy Hale, Alison Booth, and Amy Elias. For books published in 2006, please send inquiries or informal, brief written nominations to the Chair of the judging committee, Professor Dorothy Hale, [email protected].

Publisher, third party, and self-nominations are appropriate. Nominations should be submitted as soon as possible. The committee begins its deliberations in the spring; nominations received after June 1 will be at a disadvantage.

The winner will be announced at the MLA Convention in December 2007, and the prize presented at the annual Narrative Conference the following spring.

Best Graduate Student Paper

All graduate students who present papers at the conference are invited to compete for the prize for the best graduate student paper. The winner will receive a copy of a Perkins Prize-winning book of his or her choice and will be encouraged to expand the winning paper for consideration by Narrative. In addition, the 2007 award winner will be eligible for $500 toward expenses to attend the 2008 conference. Submit papers electronically as attachments (Word PC-compatible files) to both of the judges, Beth A. Boehm ([email protected]) and Jesse Matz ([email protected]), no later than Monday, April 9, 2007. Papers must be unrevised conference presentations.

Robert J. Thompson Professor of Media and Popular Culture and Director of the Center for the Study of Popular TV Syracuse University

From Episode to Serial: The Evolution of Television Narrative With the emergence of shows like LOST, 24, and the oeuvre of HBO, mainstream American television narrative has entered an era of hyper-serialization. Catalyzed by technologies like cable, the VCR, and, more recently, the digital video recorder and online episode offerings, changes in the standards of TV storytelling have transformed the medium. We’ll trace these changes by concentrating on two prime-time series, The Love Boat and St. Elsewhere.

Robert J. Thompson is the founding director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University, where he is also a Trustee Professor of Television and Popular Culture at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. He was a visiting professor for six summers at Cornell University and served for nine years as professor and director of the N.H.S.I. Television and Film Institute at Northwestern University.

Professor Thompson is the general editor of an ongoing series of books about television published by Syracuse University Press. He is the former president of the National Popular Culture Association and lectures across the country on the subject of television and popular culture. In 1991 and 1992, he was awarded the Stephen H. Coltrin Award for Excellence in Communication Theory by the International Radio & Television Society.

Thompson is the author or editor of five books: Television’s Second Golden Age (Continuum, 1996), Prime Time, Prime Movers (Little, Brown, 1992), Adventures on Prime Time (Praeger, 1990), Television Studies (Praeger 1989) and Television in the Antenna Age (Blackwell, 2005).

Hundreds of radio and TV programs and publications have featured Professor Thompson’s commentary, including: CBS’s “60 Minutes”, “48 Hours”, “The Early Show” and “The Evening News with Dan Rather”; NBC’s “Dateline”, “Today” and “Later Today”; ABC’s “20/20”, “World News Tonight”, and “Good Morning America”; PBS’s “Newshour”; MSNBC’s “Headlines & Legends”, and “Playback”; CNN’s “Newsstand”; CNBC’s “Upfront Tonight with Geraldo Rivera”; Fox News Channel’s “O’Reilly Factor”; NPR’s “All Things Considered”, “Morning Edition”, “Talk of the Nation”, “Fresh Air”, “On the Media”, and “Anthem”; , The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Time, Newsweek Fortune, TV Guide, and Variety.

He holds a BA in political science from the University of Chicago and an MA and Ph.D. in radio, television and film from Northwestern University.

 Featured SPEAKERS and PlenarIES

Friday, March 16, 2007 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM Michael Toolan Professor of Applied English Linguistics University of Birmingham

Narrative Progression in the Short Story: A Corpus Stylistic Approach What really goes on when a reader reads (experiences) a short story? What can we say about the knowledge and the expecta- tions that each successive word, sentence, and paragraph of a story causes particular readers to attend to, or visualize (‘have or put in mind’)? In corpus linguistic analysis, the more mechanical or automatic (“analyst-neutral”) the proposed mechanism the better, without embarrassment. So if, as I do, one assumes that while everything in a story is read, some and perhaps only a small part of that text carries the main burden of signalling prospection or narrativity and by that means does the main work of creating reader responses and expectations (suspense, surprise, tension, confusion or mystery, and so on); and if one believes that the core narrativity-bearing material must, for psychological reality, be relatively easily noticed and distinguished textual material (i.e., foregrounded text); then one is prompted, by stylistics, narratological, corpus linguistic and any other plausible means, to try to specify these most prominent materials—words, phrases, sentences—which (the argument runs) perform this core narrativity task, therefore stand somewhat taller than the full circumambient text, and can be derived or pinpointed by relatively mechanical or automatic means.

Michael Toolan is Professor of Applied English Linguistics at the University of Birmingham. Professor Toolan has an MA in English Language and Literature from Edinburgh University, and a D. Phil. in English from Oxford University. He teaches courses in Stylistics, Language and the Law, Narrative Analysis, and Linguistic Theory. He convenes the MA programme in Literary Linguistics.

Professor Toolan is a reader/adviser on book proposals and manuscripts for various publishers; adviser on tenure/promotion decisions to several universities; and has been external examiner of doctoral theses or BA or MA programmes at numerous universities.

Professor Toolan is a founding member of the International Association for the Integrational Study of Language and Communication (IAISLC) and editor of the Journal of Literary Semantics, published by Walter de Gruyter.

 Featured Speakers and PlenarIES

Saturday, March 17, 2007 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM Johanna Drucker Robertson Professor of Media Studies

Graphic Devices: Narration or Navigation? This talk examines ways in which graphic features of print media and electronic media structure texts and reading processes. The central question is whether these are aspects of narration and thus inherent to and integral with conventional features of narrative. Is navigation, whether in print or electronic media, a narrative act? Or a mechanical one? Navigation devices in book forms and electronic works will be used to focus this study on graphic features of particular works, some anomalous, and some conventional, across a spectrum of visual and textual productions.

Johanna Drucker is the Robertson Professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia, where she is also a Professor in the English Department. She has published and lectured widely on topics related to the history of artists’ books, experimental typography, modern and contemporary , digital aesthetics, and the history of writing.

Her most recently published title, Sweet Dreams: and Complicity. (University of Chicago Press, 2005), was the basis of an exhibition she co-curated at the University of Virginia Art Museum in 2006, Complicit! She is well-known for her work as a book artist and experimental writer. Recent works include: From Now (Cuneiform Press, 2005), Cuba (published as a collaboration by Brad Freeman, 2006), and Testament of Women (Druckwerk and Granary, 2006). She is currently finishing work on a critical history of graphic design with collaborator Emily McVarish to be published in 2008.

Narrative Inquiry is devoted to providing a forum for theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on narrative. Articles appearing in Narrative Inquiry draw upon a variety of approaches and methodologies in the study of narrative as a way to give contour to experience, tradition, and values to next generations. Particular emphasis is placed on theoretical approaches to narrative and the analysis of narratives in human interaction, including those practiced by researchers in psychology, linguistics and related disciplines. More information can be found on the editors’ website . Narrative Inquiry is the continuation of the Journal of Narrative and Life History (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates).
