    10 This book vividly evokes for the reader the sound world of a number of Eu- Renata Tańczuk / Sławomir Wieczorek (eds.) ropean cities in the last year of the Second World War. It allows the reader to “hear” elements of the soundscapes of Amsterdam, Dortmund, Lwów/Lviv, Warsaw and Breslau/Wrocław that are bound up with the traumatising experi- ences of violence, threats and death. Exploiting to the full methodologies and research tools developed in the fields of sound and soundscape studies, the Sounds of War and Peace authors analyse their reflections on autobiographical texts and art. The studies demonstrate the role urban sounds played in the inhabitants’ forging a sense of 1945 Soundscapes of European Cities in 1945 identity as they adapted to new living conditions.

  • Abstract Why We Turn the Page: a Literary Theory Of
    ABSTRACT WHY WE TURN THE PAGE: A LITERARY THEORY OF DYNAMIC STRUCTURALISM Justin J. J. Ness, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2019 David J. Gorman, Director This study claims that every narrative text intrinsically possesses a structure of fixed relationships among its interest components. The progress of literary structuralism gave more attention to the static nature of what a narrative is than it did to the dynamic nature of how it operates. This study seeks to build on the work of those few theorists who have addressed this general oversight and to contribute a more comprehensive framework through which literary critics may better chart the distinct tensions that a narrative text cultivates as it proactively produces interest to motivate a reader’s continued investment therein. This study asserts that the interest in narrative is premised on three affects— avidity, anxiety, and curiosity—and that tensions within the text are developed through five components of discourse: event, description, dialog, sequence, and presentation.

Gorman ACKNOWLEDGMENTS David Gorman, the director of my project, introduced me to literary structuralism six years ago and has ever since challenged me to ask the simple questions that most people take for granted, to “dare to be stupid.” This honesty about my own ignorance was—in one sense, perhaps the most important sense—the beginning of my life as a scholar.

  • 02955 the Aesthetics of Violence OA
    Political Violence and the Tellability of Tales Frode Helmich Pedersen It is a common perception that stories of sex and violence sell, and that it is therefore only to be expected that journalists and editors will, as a rule, favor stories about violence over narratives of a less dramatic kind. Not all stories of violence are equally publishable, however. Some stories of violence are intuitively understood to be “ft to print,” as the slogan goes, whereas others are, for a variety of reasons, deemed unsuitable for publication. How can we go about investigating this phenomenon? To what extent is it possible to ascertain the mechanisms that determine which stories of political violence are covered by Western news media and which are most likely ignored or suppressed? Two approaches to these questions come to mind. Te frst is the media critique put forward by Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman in their 1988 book Manufacturing Consent, where the central thesis is that the news stories that make the headlines in the established US press are the ones that tend to serve the interests of US state and corporate power. Te second approach 83 the aesthetics of violence is Slavoj Žižek’s critical analysis of the phenomenon of violence in his book Violence. Six sideways refections (2009), where his distinction between “subjective” and “objective” violence is of particular relevance to the question outlined above. While both of these approaches (which are primarily con- cerned with questions of ideology) are useful tools in any analysis of how Western news media cover cases of violence, they lack a theoretical perspective of the story format, which is almost always the form in which an individual phenomenon of violence is repre- sented and circulated.

Unpacking the Narrative-Argumentative Conundrum: Story Credibility Revisited JARMILA BUBIKOVA-MOAN School of Health Sciences Kristiania University College PO Box 1190 Sentrum N – 0107 Oslo Norway [email protected] Abstract: Building on a view of both narration and argumentation as dynamic concepts, the aim of this paper is to argue that story credibility remains a core issue in the debate on the argumentative quality of narratives, yet one that the dynamic perspective has not interrogated in sufficient detail. To illustrate, I will draw on empirical examples from research interviews with adult migrants to Norway on their learning and using Norwegian as a second language. Keywords: Context, discourse analysis, evidence, narrative argument, narrative positioning, story credibility, story plausibility 1. Introduction Since Kvernbekk’s (2003) “first stab” at unpacking the argumentative quality of narratives, there has been a remarkable upsurge of philosophical interest in the topic (Govier, 2013; Govier & Ayers, 2012; Kvernbekk & Bøe-Hansen, 2017; Olmos, 2013, 2014, 2017; Tindale, 2017).

  • Personal Narratives and Public Trauma in Post-Katrina New Orleans
    “They probably got us all on the news”: Personal Narratives and Public Trauma in Post-Katrina New Orleans DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Katherine Greene Parker Horigan Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Amy Shuman, Advisor Professor Ray Cashman Professor Wendy Hesford Professor Maurice Stevens Copyright by Katherine Greene Parker Horigan 2013 Abstract Although stories and images of suffering during Hurricane Katrina saturated public discourse in 2005, the fundamental failures of communication that characterize this catastrophe remain undertheorized—especially the ease with which some stories have been accepted and others ignored. My dissertation brings together representations of the storm’s darkest moments, narrated by eyewitnesses, then shared in a broad spectrum of genres and rhetorical situations. Examining contexts of production, circulation, and reception, I demonstrate that the ways in which survivors’ personal stories are shared with larger audiences can either confirm or confound stereotypical representations of the narrators’ communities, with material consequences for their immediate aid and ongoing recovery. The approaches that drive my analysis include ethnography of communication and narrative performance, critical discourse analysis, rhetorical analysis of life writing, critical race theory, and critical theories of trauma. This project examines Katrina in a new light, focusing on the representational tactics of survivors and the processes by which their narratives are recognized or rejected. Beyond that, this study contributes to current theoretical understandings about how different communicative contexts and rhetorical situations shape the knowledge that is created about trauma and recovery.

  • FINAL Dissertation
    From Private to Public: Narrative Design in Composition Pedagogy Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kathryn Bridget Comer, MA Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Evonne Kay Halasek, Advisor James Phelan Cynthia L. Selfe Copyright by Kathryn Bridget Comer 2011 ABSTRACT “From Private to Public: Narrative Rhetoric in Composition Pedagogy” argues for a rhetorical revision of narrative in composition studies. Informed by the interdisciplinary narrative turn, this project aims to move past counterproductive debates surrounding ‘personal’ writing in order to attend to the rhetorical nature and uses of narrative. To this end, I draw upon a year’s worth of classroom-based qualitative research at The Ohio State University in which students analyzed and composed autobiographical texts in multiple genres and modes. Based on this research, I suggest that narrative rhetoric offers an ethical, dialogic orientation toward communication with significant benefits for composition pedagogy and promise for public use. The introductory chapter establishes the exigency offered by the narrative turn and suggests that composition studies has an opportunity to redress a neglect of production in these conversations. I then briefly rehearse the history of personal writing in composition studies, wherein scholars and teachers have debated the merits of narrative in terms of student-centered pedagogies, academic discourse, and critical consciousness. Without diminishing the value of these conversations, I suggest that they have resulted in a terministic screen that emphasizes psychological and personal concerns to the relative neglect of the ii rhetorical uses of autobiographical composition.

  • Narration for Information, Illustration, and Evocation a PLAN B
    Narration for Information, Illustration, and Evocation A PLAN B PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jonathan Richard Gill IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE May 2010 Accepted as a Plan B project: Project Supervisor Date 1 Narration for Information, Illustration, and Evocation Linguistic analysis of oral narrative has consisted of the analysis of its features (Labov, 1972; Polanyi, 1985), devices (Szatrowski, in press), and functions (Takahashi, in press). Pedagogical theory has attempted to harness narrative as a purposeful tool in the classroom (Daniel, 2007; Ganske, 2007). This paper combines these practices, by analyzing narrative inside and outside the classroom. By analyzing two narratives from a university research presentation, and four narratives from casual conversation between peers, I outline three basic purposes for narrative: Information (transfer of facts), Illustration (providing evidence), and Evocation (causing or calling upon a shared emotion). This range of purposes, evidenced by the narratives’ common features, is found in both casual conversation and research presentation discourses. Although these contexts reflect separate genres of discourse (Swales, 1990; 2004), my findings suggest that narrative serves a common purpose inside and outside the classroom. 2 Introduction 1 “Good stories are ones that have some meaning for their audience” (Hatch, 1992, p. 166). Therefore, I find the purpose behind a narrative to be quite important. This paper outlines three purposes for narratives: Information (transfer of facts), Illustration (providing evidence), and Evocation (causing or calling upon a shared emotion). By comparing and contrasting two narratives from formal classroom presentations and four narratives from less formal face-to-face conversations, I give criteria for examining the purposes of a narrative.

  • Literary Facebook Narratology: Experientiality, Simultaneity, Tellability1

However, the literary potential of social-media storytelling has gone almost unnoticed. We need research on the literary craft in social media and on its interpretation, as platforms such as Facebook or Twitter are gradually transforming our understanding of what is meant by narrative and what narrative is considered compelling (Georgakopoulou 2013: 220-21 and 2017: 36-38). From the perspective of literary narratology, the two-way traffic between conventions of literary fiction and conventions of social-media storytelling should be of key interest, but little research exists on the topic thus far. Narratologists have, for example, considered the insertion of web-based material within novels (e.g. Hallett 2014) and the borrowing of literary techniques and attempts at literary creativity in Twitterfiction (Thomas 2013 and 2016). Yet more traditionally “narratological” text-oriented questions such as the parallels between simultaneous narration in the novel and on-line social media experientiality, have received scant attention. Transmedial narratology is more interested in how storyworld franchises travel 1 This article was written during a research period in my postdoctoral project “Voice as Experience: Life-Storying in Contemporary Media” (2014–2018, no.

  • Notes on Narrative, Cognition, and Cultural Evolution
    542 Marina Grishakova, Siim Sorokin Sign Systems Studies 44(4), 2016, 542–561 Notes on narrative, cognition, and cultural evolution Marina Grishakova, Siim Sorokin Institute of Cultural Research and Arts University of Tartu Estonia e-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. Drawing on non-Darwinian cultural-evolutionary approaches, the paper develops a broad, non-representational perspective on narrative, necessary to account for the narrative “ubiquity” hypothesis. It considers narrativity as a feature of intelligent behaviour and as a formative principle of symbolic representation (“narrative proclivity”). Th e narrative representation retains a relationship with the “primary” pre-symbolic narrativity of the basic orientational-interpretive (semiotic) behaviour aff ected by perceptually salient objects and “fi ts” in natural environments. Th e paper distinguishes between implicit narrativity (as the basic form of perceptual-cognitive mapping) of intelligent behaviour or non-narrative media, and the “narrative” as a symbolic representation. Human perceptual-attentional routines are enhanced by symbolic representations: due to its attention-monitoring and information-gathering function, narrative serves as a cognitive-exploratory tool facilitating cultural dynamics. Th e rise of new media and mass communication on the Web has thrown the ability of narrative to shape the public sphere through the ongoing process of negotiated sense- making and interpretation in a particularly sharp relief.
