José Angel GARCÍA LANDA edited the post Understanding Narratives in the group
Narrative theory and Narratology: on Humanities Commons 1 month, 2 weeks agoUnderstanding narratives is understanding the world and understanding lives and history, since we structure and understand the world and lives and history through narratives.
Hints of a hermeneutical circle?
Well, yes, perhaps so! I am a sucker for things hermeneutical, though I prefer to use the image of a hermeneutical spiral.
-
An arm on the spiral … https://narrativetheoryandnarratology.hcommons.org/2020/10/09/understanding-narratives/#comment-2465 and thanks to José Angel for sending me back to graduate school and the heady literary and philosophical concepts of possible and fictional worlds and their connection to the actual world.
-
Noesis and poesis would seem to be, though, also involved in a dialectic relationship of mutual implication or dialectics, rather than being only polarities, which they are in a way. Thanks for the ref., François!
-
And now to add another arm to the spiral… I want to read those resources on the nature of history that José Angel posted (in anticipation?) https://narrativetheoryandnarratology.hcommons.org/2020/09/25/telling-times/

On the process of reading characters and ‘structuring’ them as you read on and as they keep evolving, I love, too, Philippe Hamon’s paper “Pour un statut sémiologique du personnage” (1977).
Interesting that Hamon crops up in this context. Mieke Bal goes on later in the book to acknowledge Hamon:
quote>
An important book article by Hamon [Le personnel du roman] (1983), from which I have borrowed a great deal in this chapter, deals with characters. Hamon treats the most important aspects of the characters and places them in a…[Read more]
