English | ISBN: 0786474408 | 2014 | 224 pages | EPUB | 793 KB
Drawing on the works of Shakespeare and American screenwriter Joss Whedon, this study in narrative ethics contends that Whedon is the Shakespeare of our time. The Bard wrote before the influence of the modern moral philosophers, while Whedon is writing in the postmodern period. It is argued that Whedon’s work is more in harmony with the early modern values of Shakespeare than with modern ethics, which trace their origin to 17th and 18th century moral philosophy. This study includes a detailed discussion of representative works of Shakespeare and Whedon, showing how they can and should be read as forms of narrative ethics.

Narrative Means to Journalistic Ends A Narratological Analysis of Selected Journalistic Reportages


Free Download Narrative Means to Journalistic Ends: A Narratological Analysis of Selected Journalistic Reportages By Nora Berning (auth.)
2011 | 158 Pages | ISBN: 3531179101 | PDF | 2 MB
Nora Berning grasps the narrative potential of journalistic reportages via a set of narratological categories. Spurred by an interdisciplinary framework, she builds on transgeneric narratological research and shows that journalistic reportages can be described, analyzed, and charted with categories that originate in structuralist narratology. The author spells out minimal criteria for particular types of reportages, and challenges the argument that journalism and literature have distinct, non-overlapping communicative goals. By showing that the reportage is a hybrid text type that seeks to inform, educate, and entertain, this study advances a re-conceptualization of journalism and literature as two fields with permeable borders. The book is written for researchers and students in the fields of journalism, media, communications, and literary theory.
