Narrative Theory, Literature, and New Media - Narrative Minds and Virtual Worlds

Providing new openings for transdisciplinary narrative theory, this book investigates storyworlds and minds in narratives across media, visiting literature, digital games, TV, music, and more. It addresses interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary narrative theory, inspired by recent cognitive-scientific developments. Minds and worlds become essential facets of making sense and interpreting narratives as essays ask how story-internal minds relate to the mind external to the storyworld. Promoting knowledge on the latest forms of cultural and social meaning-making through narrative, this book contributes to fields including literary studies, social sciences, art, media, and communication.
