Book excerpt: "A collection of original essays establishing how wide the intellectual boundaries of narrative theory have become, the Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Narrative Theories showcases the latest approaches to diverse narratives across many media and in numerous disciplines. Attending to literary, digital, visual, cinematic, televisual and aural forms of storytelling, this book brings founders of the field of post-classical narrative theory together with senior and emerging scholars. This is the first anthology to consider what narrative is and what it can do in the wake of various turns in literary studies which have been appearing in the context of digital media and algorithmic capital. From mind-centered and philosophical approaches to theories focusing on gender, race and sexuality, the chapters touch on poetry, drama, digital games, podcasts, coding, speculative fiction, the law, medical narrative, oral storytelling and comics as well as the more traditional areas of fiction, TV and film. This is the future of narrative theory" - Provided by publisher.
