Frontmatter -- Contents -- By Way of Introduction – Reflections on Narrative and Values, and the Value of Narratives -- The Ethical Potential and Risks of Narratives: Six Evaluative Continuums (and Sofi Oksanen’s Open Letter to Melania Trump) -- Narrative, Values, and the Place of the Human: Coordinating Anthropocentrism and Biocentrism -- The Circulating Professor: Narrative Configuration in Nabokov’s Pnin -- Multi-authored Yet Authorless Film Photonovels, an Ethical Paradox? -- Schrödinger’s Duck-Rabbit: Ambiguity and Meta-Framing across Media -- “Find me a motive!” Accusatory Rhetoric, Narrative and Values in Emile Zola’s ‘J’accuse’ -- The Right to Speak: The Cultural Archive and the Public Sphere in South Africa -- Dangerous Narratives: How Fake News and Narrative Journalism Shed Light on Journalism’s Epistemological Foundations and Self-understanding in the Twenty-first Century -- Beating Illness Into Shape: Applied Narratology and the Dangers of Storytelling -- Contributors -- Index
Summary: There is a growing interest in studying narrative discourse as ‘experimental values laboratory,’ both reflecting social values and participating in their circulation. Given the omnipresence of narrative and story-telling practices in public life, from advertising to politics, law, and the media, the need for narrative savviness – that is, the ability to read for the values that inhere in and are transmitted through narrative – transcends the study of fiction. This volume brings into focus the ways in which narratives are informed and shaped by values, and how they transmit values themselves. The authors in the volume take a broad range of approaches to narrative, including narratology, rhetoric, ecocriticism, narrative (meta)hermeneutics, applied narratology, and frame theory. By bringing together strands of contemporary narrative theory that are not often found in dialogue with one another, the volume aims to capture the most recent developments in the study of narrative ethics.
