There are storytellings everywhere in human culture, from primitive to modern times. The scholarship of narratology has been developed for centuries, and this includes the \"emancipatory\" Post-Classical Narratology of recent decades.This book gives a classification of all narratives including performative narratives (such as theater, visual broadcasting, ceremony, competition), semi-performative narratives (such as cinema), and mental narratives (such as dream and hallucination), among which conative narratives, such as advertisement, promise and divination, are a unique kind. This book provides and discusses the criteria that can make distinctions clear and unconfusing. Each kind of narrative is given a detailed discussion on its factual and fictional variations. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57086703501685,"sku":"9789819580675","price":119.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9789819580675.jpg?v=1776681377","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9789819580675","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
