Book Summary

This book is a very brief introduction about a theory of narrative renewal. To understand the present cultural circumstances of the proliferation of narratives in their multiple forms, a comprehensive theory as to how they transform themselves in time and cultures is absolutely necessary. Such a theory would naturally broaden and go beyond the scope of the discourse-based structuralist narratology. Narrative renewal theory attempts to integrate the studies of storytelling, transfictionality, adaptation, narrativity, experientiality, and so forth to establish a new approach to both the cognitive and ontological processes of narrative transformation.
