La description

This companion to the international classic Narratology: Introduction to the Theory of Narrative makes the well-known theory useful not only in literary studies, but in other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, including visual arts, cinema, photography, political texts, historical documents and historical writing, and methodological texts. Narratology in Practice demonstrates that narrative is not bound to language: it is present everywhere in modern culture.
