Heinen and Sommer (U. of Wuppertal) present revised and translated versions of papers presented at the Inaugural Symposium of the Center for Narrative Research. The field of narratology has a
history of limited interdisciplinary research. This is perhaps due to its usual sole focus on recurrent features shared by narratives and on the discipline's roots in literary studies. This
volume, however, explores the revision of existing narratological models based on input from related subjects, the export of narratology into fields such as film analysis, and the development
of transdisciplinary research with hermeneutics, linguistics and cognitive theory. Includes citations at the end of each chapter, but no index. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
