Cíle předmětu
How is it that narratives – always constructed, often purely imaginative – influence how real people think and act? This old question has recently been asked in new ways with possible consequences for how we understand the forms and functions of stories both in and beyond literature and fiction.
Circling this question, the course consists of three modules. The first, entitled “What is the study of Narrative now?” is an attempt to outline the current landscapes in narrative research across disciplines. Through examples from developing trends such as second generation cognitive narratology, unnatural narratology, and small stories research we will investigate the possibilities and pitfalls, as well as the premises, preconditions and debates between recent approaches. The second and third module zoom in on two such approaches, both interested in the rhetorical side of narratives: how are we to make sense of the fact that narratives are means to move people? Under the heading of “Narrative Rhetoric” we will look at forms and functions of narratives across media as they work in public discourse such as viral communication, humanitarian aid, and contemporary political rhetoric. Under the heading of “Fictionality” we will then look at a new way of thinking about the role invention plays in human communication by examining cases from autofiction, testimonial narratives, generic fiction, and commercials.
