9781498504416: Screenplay and Narrative Theory: The Screenplectics Model of Complex Narrative Systems

Synopsis

Screenplay and Narrative Theory draws attention to the notion that in order to comprehend complex narrative dynamics, which are encountered in a great variety of narrative genres, forms, and formats, a more comprehensive theory of narrative is required. George Varotsis explains how a work of narrative functions synergistically and systemically, as well as elucidates the heuristic problem-solving mechanisms that are employed in various structural levels of thought processes, which allow the coherent accumulative derivative we call a story to emerge. The transition from an empirical to theoretical perspective is achieved by introducing characteristics of complex narrative systems: a network of narrative components, i.e. characters, structure, goals, motivations, theme, plot and subplots, narrative action, etc., which are arranged hierarchically over three fundamental levels of structure, i.e. deep, intermediate, and surface structure, that interact parallel to one another in non-linear ways. Varotsis tackles questions about how stories semantically emerge in the underlying dynamics that allow a work of narrative to function as a unified whole.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Screenplay and Narrative Theory investigates the cognitive processes of narrative composition and the fundamental underlying mechanics and dynamics of narrative by introducing characteristics of complex narrative systems. Complex narrative systems are constituted of a network of components that are arranged hierarchically over three structural levels, interacting with each other in nonlinear ways while they are regulated by the plot-algorithm, a heuristic mechanism that is used in problem-solving.
