Inhaltsangabe

This study investigates the richly diverse but integrated semiotic potential of storytelling. Unlike other interdisciplinary approaches to narrative studies which have privileged the study of words in storytelling, this unique collection provides a much needed analysis of how narrative operates using combinations of visual, typographic, aural, gestural and haptic resources. Although both multimodal theory and narrative studies have been invigorated by a variety of theoretical approaches, this volume seeks to avoid a single dominant paradigm. Instead, the contributors use literary criticism, linguistics and new media frameworks in a series of critical studies that are directly engaged with a range of multimodal stories. The contributors analyze works that include oral accounts of personal experience, opera, cartoons, print literature and new media forms of storytelling such as experimental digital fiction and fanfiction.
