Abstract:
References to stories and storytelling appear throughout Alice Munro's five short story cycles: DANCE OF THE HAPPY SHADES, LIVES OF GIRLS AND WOMEN, SOMETHING I'VE BEEN MEANING TO TELL YOU, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? and THE. MOONS OF JUPITER. This thesis contends that stories--mentioned briefly or recounted at length--provide counterpoint to experience for Munro's characters. Oral and written stories influence them throughout life, but especially in youth, when they eagerly identify with, and imitate, fictional figures. In LIVES and WHO, storytelling becomes central because their protagonists

The research and material contained in this thesis will examine short story theory from current perspectives in the field and provide a response to questions posed about the composition of short fiction. A critical introduction will take into account these theories and lead into a collection of five short stories written from a filmmaking perspective. The collection of work provided represents an attempt to break stereotype in the construction and formatting of what is considered standard short story material.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Richard Kearney<br>This thesis is an investigation of the epistemological and ethical reasons why philosophers might consider writing stories to communicate their ideas rather than nonfiction. It considers the consequences of empathizing with fictional characters, as well as the ways in which stories better capture reality than essays. The thesis also looks at the therapeutic power of storytelling. Does fiction offer deeper insights about death that cannot be taught through argumentative essays? Is the form of storytelling better at talking about death? These are the questions

Abstract:
I argue that one cannot hold a Meinongian ontology of fictional characters and have a causal theory of reference for fictional names. The main argument presented refutes Edward Zalta's claim that storytelling should be considered an extended baptism for fictional characters. This amounts to the claim that storytelling fixes the reference of fictional names in the same way that baptism fixes the reference of ordinary names, and this is just a claim about the illocutionary force of these two types of utterance. To evaluate this argument, therefore, we need both a common understanding of the M

Abstract:
This work explores the place of creative non-fiction in Australian tertiary journalism education. While creative non-fiction — a genre of writing based on the techniques of the fiction writer — has had a rocky relationship with journalism, this study shows that not only is there a place for the genre in journalism education, but that it is inextricably linked with journalism. The research is based on results from studies using elite interviews and a census of Australian universities with practical journalism curricula.

A l’inverse d'une œuvre postmoderniste typique, qui met en avant sa mise à nu des mécanismes fabulateurs, les métafictions et les parodies gaimaniennes restent des fictions fantastiques et merveilleuses où les enjeux fabulateurs (psychologie et parcours des personnages, intrigue, émotion et suspens) gardent leur place primordiale.

Modern stories are the product of a recursive process influenced by elements of genre, outside content, medium, and more. These stories exist in a multitude of forms and are transmitted across multiple media.

Through an examination of the polymediated nature of modern narratives, we explore the complicated nature of modern storytelling.

Abstract:
The intent of this thesis was to test the feasibility of constructing performance-for-development narrative using a constructive logic approach. I created an equation which expressed the sum of non-human-elements as the sum of a narrative with each element serving as a variable. I used a review of persuasion literature to provide insight into the selection and manipulation of each variable. I provided my family as a hypothetical example and used my knowledge of their preferences and communication styles in conjunction with the literature and the equation to craft a narrative which might increa

Art du flux, data art, l’art numérique s’approprie les flux de données. Le rapport au réel et au temps qui s’y joue semble propice à la narration, pourtant les œuvres intègrent rarement des récits. Choisissant la voie de la recherche création, cette thèse explore les potentialités narratives des flux de données. Articulant les approches techniques, sémiotiques, sociales et esthétiques, la réflexion se nourrit, outre les sciences de l’information et de la communication, de disciplines variées telles que l’informatique, la philosophie, la sociologie, les sciences cognitives et la narratologie.

Notre thèse intitulée "La mise en récit du corps masculin du migrant africain: étude comparative de fictions arabophones et francophones" est né du constat de l'actualité de plus en plus pressante de la migration.En tant que fait ethnosociologique se nourrissant notamment des évolutions et bouleversements sociaux, la littérature reflète les questionnements de ces populations touchées par le phénomène migratoire et par l'inéluctable problème de leur reconstruction identitaire. Elle met en scène leurs réflexions sur les difficultés à s'inscrire dans un espace hétérogène et hétéroculturel et sur

Abstract:
This thesis is an inquiry into possibilities and problems of a sociology of translation. Beginning with a recognition that actor network theory represents a sociological account of social life premised upon on recognition of multiple ontologies, interruptions and translations, the thesis proceeds to examine problems of interpretation and representation inherent in these accounts. Tensions between sociological interpretation and social life as lived are examined by comparing representation of nonhuman agency in both an actor-network and a science fiction study of doors.
