Beskrivning
Proposes a new Deleuzian model for understanding narrativeWhat is narrative? Ridvan Askin brings together aesthetics, contemporary North American fiction, Gilles Deleuze, narrative theory and the recent speculative turn to answer this question. Through this process, he develops a transcendental empiricist concept of narrative. Askin argues against the established consensus of narrative theory for an understanding of narrative as fundamentally nonhuman, unconscious and expressive.

Recensioner i media

Narrative and Becoming takes everything we thought we knew about narrative theory, and places it in a startling new light. Ridvan Askin recasts storytelling both as speculation, exceeding the boundaries of the known, and as an upwelling of the nonhuman even in what we think of as a quintessentially human activity.
