Narration as Argument
This book presents reflections on the relationship between narratives and argumentative discourse.It focuses on their functional and structural similarities or dissimilarities, and offers diverse perspectives and conceptual tools for analyzing the narratives’ potential power for justification, explanation and persuasion.Divided into two sections, the first Part, under the title “Narratives as Sources of Knowledge and Argument”, includes five chapters addressing rather general, theoretical and characteristically philosophical issues related to the argumentative analysis and understanding of narratives.We may perceive here how scholars in Argumentation Theory have recently approached certain topics that have a close connection with mainstream discussions in epistemology and the cognitive sciences about the justificatory potential of narratives.The second Part, entitled “Argumentative Narratives in Context”, brings us six more chapters that concentrate on either particular functions played by argumentatively-oriented narratives or particular practices that may benefit from the use of special kinds of narratives.Here the focus is either on the detailed analysis of contextualized examples of narratives with argumentative qualities or on the careful understanding of the particular demands of certain well-defined situated activities, as diverse as scientific theorizing or war policing, that may be satisfied by certain uses of narrative discourse.

The Crisis of Narration
Narratives produce the ties that bind us. They create community, eliminate contingency and anchor us in being. And yet in our contemporary information society, where everything has become arbitrary and random, storytelling becomes storyselling and narratives lose their binding force. Whereas narratives create community, storytelling brings forth only a fleeting community – the community of consumers.No amount of storytelling could recreate the fire around which humans gather to tell each other stories.That fire has long since burnt out. It has been replaced by the digital screen, which separates people rather than bringing them together.Through storytelling, capitalism appropriates narrative: stories sell.They are no longer a medium of shared experience. The inflation of storytelling betrays a need to cope with contingency, but storytelling is unable to transform the information society back into a stable narrative community.Rather, storytelling as storyselling is a pathological phenomenon of our age.Byung-Chul Han, one of the most perceptive cultural theorists of contemporary society, dissects this crisis with exceptional insight and flair.

Picturebooks: Representation and Narration
This volume discusses the aesthetic and cognitive challenges of modern picturebooks from different countries, such as Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and USA.The overarching issue concerns the mutual relationship between representation and narration by means of the picturebooks’ multimodal character.Moreover, this volume includes the main lines of debate and approaches to picturebooks by international leading researchers in the field.Topics covered are the impact of paratexts and interpictorial allusions, the relationship between artists’ books, crossover picturebooks, and picturebooks for adults, the narrative defiance of wordless picturebooks, the representation of emotions in images and text, and the depiction of hybrid characters in picturebooks.The enlargement of the picturebook corpus beyond an Anglo-American picturebook canon opens up new horizons and highlights the diverging styles and genre shifts in modern picturebooks.This tendency also demonstrates the influence of specific authors and illustrators on the appreciation of the picturebook genre, as in the case of Astrid Lindgren’s picturebooks and the picturebooks created by renowned illustrators, such as Anthony Browne, Wolf Erlbruch, Stian Hole, and Bruno Munari.This book will be the definite contribution to contemporary picturebook research for many years to come.

Narration in the Fiction Film
Most films tell tales, but what does that involve? How do motion pictures tease us into building what we all agree to call stories?In this study, David Bordwell offers the first comprehensive account of how movies use fundamental principles of narrative representation, unique features of the film medium, and diverse storytelling patterns to construct their fictional narratives.The result is a pioneering, far reaching work which will change the way we perceive narrative film and which every serious film scholar, student or fan will welcome.Bordwell begins his study with an overview of general approaches to narration.Drawing on the insights of certain theories- in particular Russian formalist aesthetic theory and cognitive psychology for its notion of how the viewer contributes to the process of narrative comprehension- he formulates a new concept of narration that is uniquely applicable to fictional cinema.Films, Bordwell argues, are patterned systems that prompt spectators versed in narrative conventions to construct a story.Since cinema is a medium involving both time and place, he considers how these factors affect the concrete process of film narration and help shape the spectators’ story comprehension. If the conventions of story making very from medium to medium, they also vary historically.Dominant modes of film narration, Bordwell suggests have furnished tacit conventions for film makers and audiences at different periods.Characterising four of these modes as classical Hollywood cinema, the European ‘art cinema’, the Soviet historical materialist film and parametric narration, he examines the history and specific strategies of each. Ultimately, however, Bordwell offers more than abstract theory.Demonstrating how his concept of narration can aid in the critical analysis of particular films and film makers, he provides fresh discussions of such movies as ‘His Girl Friday’, ‘The Big Sleep’, ‘Rear Window’ and ‘La Guerre est Finie’.In director Jean-Luc Goddard, Bordwell finds particularly telling reference point; the Frenchman's films derive their particular difficulty and charm, he argued, by parodying, mixing and subverting those narrative conventions which audiences have learnt to trust.

What is the difference between narration and inner monologue?
Narration is the act of telling a story or describing events from an external perspective, often in the third person. It is the voice of the author or narrator guiding the reader through the story. Inner monologue, on the other hand, is the internal thoughts and feelings of a character expressed directly to the reader. It provides insight into a character's emotions, motivations, and inner conflicts. While narration is the external voice guiding the story, inner monologue is the internal voice of the character.

What is the difference between reportage, report, and narration?
Reportage is a style of journalism that involves in-depth reporting and analysis of a particular event or issue, often with a focus on storytelling and human interest. A report is a formal account of an event, situation, or investigation, typically presented in a factual and objective manner. Narration, on the other hand, refers to the act of telling a story or recounting events, often from a subjective or personal perspective. While reportage and report are more closely associated with journalism and factual reporting, narration is often used in literature and storytelling to convey a particular perspective or point of view.

Hollywood Incoherent : Narration in Seventies Cinema
In the 1970s, Hollywood experienced a creative surge, opening a new era in American cinema with films that challenged traditional modes of storytelling.Inspired by European and Asian art cinema as well as Hollywood's own history of narrative ingenuity, directors such as Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, William Friedkin, Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen, and Francis Ford Coppola undermined the harmony of traditional Hollywood cinema and created some of the best movies ever to come out of the American film industry.Critics have previously viewed these films as a response to the cultural and political upheavals of the 1970s, but until now no one has explored how the period's inventive narrative design represents one of the great artistic accomplishments of American cinema. In Hollywood Incoherent, Todd Berliner offers the first thorough analysis of the narrative and stylistic innovations of seventies cinema and its influence on contemporary American filmmaking.He examines not just formally eccentric films—Nashville; Taxi Driver; A Clockwork Orange; The Godfather, Part II; and the films of John Cassavetes—but also mainstream commercial films, including The Exorcist, The Godfather, The French Connection, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Dog Day Afternoon, Chinatown, The Bad News Bears, Patton, All the President's Men, Annie Hall, and many others.With persuasive revisionist analyses, Berliner demonstrates the centrality of this period to the history of Hollywood's formal development, showing how seventies films represent the key turning point between the storytelling modes of the studio era and those of modern American cinema.
