Abstract:

Bibliography: pages 154-163.<br>In this thesis I have departed from the prevalent critical concentration on the affiliations between Murdoch's fiction and philosophy, and have attempted to explore the relationship between her narrative techniques and the conventions of realism. In doing so, I use the narrative theory of Dorrit Cohn, who proposes that novelists concerned to render a sense of "reality" are also those who construct the most elaborate and artificial fictive worlds and characters. I propose that Murdoch's "real-isation" of her fictional world incorporates the problems of access to,

The dominant theme in Regain is that of death leading to rebirth. This dissertation attempts to explore Giono's narrative techniques within this context. No single chapter will be devoted to a specific technique; instead, the various devices used by the author are discussed as they emerge from the structure of the chapters. Justifying the field of study as defined in the "Introduction", the following three chapters outline the passage of life from death to eventual rebirth.

Abstract:

There are two branches of scholarship on Edith Wharton. One branch tends to focus upon a comparison of her novels with her life, and tends to document her work as that of a social historian and custodian of manners of old New York. The other branch, represented by feminist critics, uses a Marxist approach to read the thematics of Wharton's novels, and argues that her heroines are perched between the cusp of the "old" and the "new" woman. This study of Wharton extends and intertwines both these lines of scholarship to argue that Wharton's novels must be read against her life, and that the criti

Abstract:

This is an arts-based research study on the effects of applying extensive and diverse sketching techniques to the development of a cohesive body of work, which reflects the significant and meaningful events of the artist-researcher’s life. The research techniques employed and studied consist of looking at historical exemplars, sketching, reflecting, critiquing, and revising. The results of the research were then reflected upon and applied to the field of art education in an attempt to discover the benefits for both teaching and learning in kindergarten through 12th grade curriculums.

Abstract:

The essay examines the narrative techniques in the novel Delirio (2004) by the Columbian writer Laura Restrepo. Focus is set on the question of narrators. The narrators in this novel have a structuring function, and it is suggested that there is one of them in particular which links the main character's delirium with the context of the 'real world' in the novel. A narratological analysis is carried out based on categories by theorists like Gérard Genette and Yuri Lotman. A description of every narrator's characteristics such as reliability, speech style, knowledge and experience is made, follo

Abstract:

This essay is an attempt to show how certain elements, or techniques of history writing, can be used in creative non-fiction. It uses three major sources of theory. First, there is Charlotte Canning and Thomas Postlewait’s view on “the five themes of historiography,” which are indispensable for researching history: time, space, archive, identity, and narrative. The essay primarily focuses on narrative, because it is connected to representations of human lives, and as such contributes to meaning- creation. Second, the essay employs Hayden White’s concept of the historian’s working process and t

Abstract:

A large part of any game development process consists of content creation, which costs both time and effort. Procedural generation techniques exist to help narrative generation, but they are scattered and require extensive manual labour to set up. On top of that, Serious Games content created with these techniques tend to be uninteresting and lack variety which can ultimately lead to the Serious Games missing their intended purpose. This paper delivers a prototype for a modular tool that aims to solve these problems by combining existing narrative generation techniques with common sense databa

Abstract:

Since its development, critics of electronic literature have touted all that is “new” about the field, commenting on how these works make revolutionary use of non-linear structure, hyperlinks, and user interaction. Scholars of digital narrative have most often focused their critiques within the paradigms of either the text-centric structuralist model of narrativity or post-structuralist models that implicate the text as fundamentally fluid and dependent upon its reader for meaning. But neither of these approaches can account completely for the unique modes in which digital narratives prompt re

Abstract:

This thesis explores the role of music production techniques in the communication of narrative in recorded popular music through an artistic research approach. Case studies are analysed and inform the production of six recorded tracks that illustrate how the communication of narrative in popular music can be supported or enhanced through the use of music production techniques. The findings indicate that a strong relationship exists between the creative production decisions made in the creation of a recorded track and the listener’s interpretation of the story being told.

Furthermore, I suggest that these methods have sometimes been applied inflexibly, to the extent that some of Conrad's most technically original works have been condemned simply because they do not adhere to the narrative structures narratology

Abstract:

En tant que première destination touristique aux Etats-Unis, les parcs à thèmes Disney représentent un phénomène culturel important et une opportunité unique d’évaluer les médias de masse à l’aune de leur influence sur les usages et les conduites. L’analyse se propose d’interroger le concept d’imachination (imagineering), qui désigne chez Disney la conception des environnements thématiques et narratifs des parcs. Au travers de l’examen des protocoles de création des parcs, il s’agit de déterminer comment leurs concepteurs réunissent dans l’environnement certains critères de la narrativité ains

Abstract:

This thesis consists of a novel written with the express purpose of exploring what practices and strategies are most useful in writing novel-length fiction as well as an exegesis which discusses the process. By its very nature, an undergraduate degree in Creative Writing is broad and general in approach.

Abstract:

Par la mise en scène d'un personnage de lecteur (narrataire), le Roman cherche à faire mentir le principe selon lequel certains livres peuvent rendre le monde absolument "lisible". Pour le romancier, le recours à cette sorte de déchiffrage n'est inspiré que par la mauvaise foi, par le désir de nier que nous soyons libres d'agir. La lecture ici est destinée à se masquer le vide angoissant de la conscience. Le désir de "lire le monde" se traduit, en effet, chez le narrataire, par celui de lier entre eux des évènements qui ne peuvent pourtant s'expliquer les uns par les autres, de recueillir des

Les chroniques romanesques de jean giono sont des oeuvres revolutionnaires surtout en matiere de technique narrative. Nous avons choisi comme corpus les chroniques de la periode 19461952, un roi sans divertissement, les ames fortes, les grands chemins et le moulin de pologne.
