- ‘Narrative is intentional, transhistorical, transcultural: it is simply there, like life itself’
(Roland Barthes)
- Memory itself might be dependent on the capacity for narrative
- Narrative is the principal way in which our species organizes its understanding of time
- Story time (clock time) vs Narrative time (discourse time):
a) The children fell down. After a while she got up and ran, until at last, seeing
her mother, she burst into tears: “I fell down”, she cried. “There, there,” said
the mother. “That must have hurt”
Story time (clock time): time is comprised of a succession of events that appears as links in a chain (the
fall, the getting up, the running, the seeing of the mother, the bursting into tears, what she said, and
what her mother said). Clock time always relates to itself, so that one speaks in terms of numbers of
seconds.
b) The child fell down. She sat where she had fallen, her eyes frightened, her
lower lip trembling. She rubbed her knee. Was it bleeding? No, but the skin
was scraped. Where was her mother? Carefully, she got to her feet and stared
running… “There, there”, said her mother, “that must have hurt”
Narrative time (discourse time): the amount of time it takes a reader to read a passage. It has an
accumulation of detail, words and information.

→A story can travel from one representation to another and remain recognized as the
same story (= adaptation)
- Change vs recurrence
Narrativity
- It is the quality or set of properties that distinguish a narrative into a higher register.
(The felling of someone “telling a story”, of a performance, a narrative “for its own
sake”)

The time of narration
Reservados todos los derechos. No se permite la explotación económica ni la transformación de esta obra. Queda permitida la impresión en su totalidad.
- Prior (or anterior) narration:
• A reference to events before they happen
• Marked by future and conditional tenses
• Often used for short blocks embedded within the main story (prophecies,
premonitions…)
- Simultaneous narration:
• A story told as the events unfold
• Marked by the use of present tenses
• Effect of immediacy and spatial closeness (happening right in front our eyes)
- Interpolated narration
• Combines subsequent and simultaneous narration
• Present/past tenses
• Used in epistolary narratives, narratives in the form of diaries
• More than one narrative level
• Narration of earlier events combined with a reflection on their current
meaning

Focalization
Reservados todos los derechos. No se permite la explotación económica ni la transformación de esta obra. Queda permitida la impresión en su totalidad.
- Textual function: determines the selection and restriction of narrative information
relative to the focalizer’s knowledge, perception and point of view
- Influences the meaning that the reader will assign to events and characters:
• We tend to identify and emphasize with the point of view that is provided
• Focalization as the most subtle means of manipulating the information
- Sensory and psychological perception, but also mindset, worldview, attitude,
preferences, values, ideological orientations, etc.
- Different degrees of objectivity/ subjectivity

- Differing degrees of conventionalization and smoothing out of natural disfluencies of
real speech
- Replace the expressive possibilities of voices (in terms of accent, tone…)
- Identification and individualization of speakers
Direct style
Indirect style
a64b0469ff35958ef4ab887a898bd50bdfbbe91a-6252601
→ Its aim is to invoke the uninterrupted flow of thoughts going through the
character’s being, as they are born, and is the other they are born, without any explanation of
logical sequence and giving the impression of “raw” experience
- Representation of the character’s words or thoughts that blurs the distinction between
the character’s voice (direct style) and the narrative voice (indirect style)
- Features common with the direct style:
• Use of vernacular forms, colloquialisms, slang…
• Direct questions and exclamations
• No reporting verb
• Temporal and spatial references and demonstratives (here, now…)
- Features in common with the indirect style:
• Personal pronouns (3rd person)
• Verb tenses (past tenses)
- Associated with showing and with internal focalization
- More filtering than in direct style, but less than in indirect style
- Allows a heterodiegetic narrative to exploit an internal focalization
Summary
Showing → "John looked at his wife, his eyebrows pursed, his lips contracted, his fists
clenched. Then he got up, banged the door and left the house”
- the narrative evokes in readers the impression that they are shown the events of the
story or that they somehow witness them
- readers get the impression that they are somehow near the events of the story (“small
distance”)
- the narrative evokes in readers the impression that they are told about the events
- evokes the impression of a “large distance” between readers and the events

INTERPRETING NARRATIVE
Introduction
- Intentional reading: “the ideas and judgments that we are infer from the narrative are
understood to be in keeping with a sensibility that intended these effects”
- Concepts linked to the reader’s process of interpretation:

1. Implied author
2. Reader’s manipulation of the narrative
3. Gaps and cruxes
4. Themes and motives
Implied author
a64b0469ff35958ef4ab887a898bd50bdfbbe91a-6252601
A) Underreading
- Overlooking elements:
• lack of attention
• lack of understanding
Reservados todos los derechos. No se permite la explotación económica ni la transformación de esta obra. Queda permitida la impresión en su totalidad.
- Excluding elements
• for convenience when looking for closure
• to make the text fit a predetermined critical/ theoretical reading
- “The primacy effect”: tendency to privilege our 1st impression even if later, on this
impression, is contradicted in the narrative or in further readings
B) Overreading
- Relying for our interpretation on elements (qualities, motives, moods, ideas,
judgements…) for which there is no direct evidence in the text

Main features

- It centers around a conflict (agon)→ towards resolution
(conflict= central elements of the narrative)
- Structure principles
• Chronology: events usually unfold in chronological order
• Causality: events bring about changes and transformations, leading to a new
order or equilibrium
• Teleology ("end”, “resolution”): events unfold in such a way as to contribute to
a specific aim or end
- Closure: the resolution of the story’s central conflict
(Ex: “for sale: baby shoes, never worn”→ no closure, we don’t know the end)
- Character-centered events; well defined characters
- Spatio-temporal guidance (setting)
- The world is knowable and susceptible of rational enquiry
(It makes sense and it could be understood through logic)
- Moral guidance (textual implications)
- Hierarchy of voices, discourse and narrative levels
→Compliance vs deviation (some conventions are going to be followed while others will
suffer variations)
a64b0469ff35958ef4ab887a898bd50bdfbbe91a-6252601
What is closure?
- Roland Barthes’s codes that author and reader share in order to make a narrative
readable:
• Proairetic code: expectations and actions
• Hermenecitic code: questions and answers
- 2 levels at which narrative occurs:
• Level of expectations: how we expect action to unfold in terms of the overcall
code
• Level of questions: the uncertainties that we seek to resolve as the narrative
progresses
- If expectations are fulfilled or questions answered, we say that closure occurs

CHARACTER AND SELF IN NARRATIVE—TECHNIQUES OF CHARACTERIZATION
Characterization in narrative
Reservados todos los derechos. No se permite la explotación económica ni la transformación de esta obra. Queda permitida la impresión en su totalidad.
- Characters have agency→ they drive the action and reveal who they are
- The stress on character is connected with modern fascination with the individual
- Frequency of eponymous protagonists (main characters that give the name to the
story) ex: Jane Eyre; Charlotte Brontë
- Characters are usually harder to understand than actions→ from horizontal to vertical
analysis
- Flat characters
• No hidden complexity (limited to a narrow range of predictable behaviors)
• Unchanging (do not develop during the narrative)
- Round characters
• Characterized by various degrees of depth and complexity: conflicting ideas,
feelings and values
• Dynamic (subject to development)
- The choice of flat or round characters are often determined by generic conventions
- The ability to create round characters is an indicator of literary quality
Techniques of characterization
a64b0469ff35958ef4ab887a898bd50bdfbbe91a-6252601
- Story time (clock time): the sequence of events and the length of time that passes in
the story (measured through the clock in the story; the time that occurs in the story)
- Narrative time (discourse time): the amount of time it takes a reader to read a

passage. It has an accumulation of detail, words and information
EX: “5 years passed before they met again”→ Short narrative time (7words) / long story
time (5 years)
- Linearity (linear chronology): the temporal order of succession of the events in the
story
- Fixed time-span or duration: clock time
- “singularness” of events: events only happen once in the exact same way and
conditions (vs déjà vu)
Analyzing time
- The analysis of the use of time in narrative centers around 3 aspects: order, duration
and frequency
1- Order: succession of the events in the story vs the order of their arrangement in
the narrative (plot)
2- Duration: time-span of events in the story vs the duration of their telling in the
narrative (length of the text/ complexity of detail)
3- Frequency: the repetitive capacities of the story vs those of the narrative
1-ORDER
- “The analysis of the connections between the story’s chronology and the order in
which the story’s events have been arranged in the narrative text (plot)”
- Anachronies: deviations from the natural (linear) chronology of the story
→ 1A-2B-3C-4D-5E: Perfect temporal correspondence between the story and the narrative
time→ no deviation from the original time of the story
- Techniques:
• Analepsis
• Prolepsis
• Complex anachronies
• Achrony
a64b0469ff35958ef4ab887a898bd50bdfbbe91a-6252601
- A form of anachrony by which some of the events of a story are related at a point in
the narrative after later story events have already been recounted
- Used to fill in back ground information about characters and events
Reservados todos los derechos. No se permite la explotación económica ni la transformación de esta obra. Queda permitida la impresión en su totalidad.
- We find analepsis in narratives that begin in media res
- Analepses may be introduced by a character (more subjective) or a narrator (more
objective in theory)
Complex anachronies
Achrony
- An achrony deprived from every temporal connection whose order in the sequence of
events cannot be inferred from the content
- Emphasizes a narrative’s capacity to disengage its arrangement from all dependence
on, and connections with, the chronological sequence of the story it tells
(We have no idea of which event happens 1st)
2-DURATION (rhythm)
- The analysis of the connections between the derivation of the story events and the
time devoted to their presentation through narrative discourse
- Difficult to compare: amount of reading time varies according to particular
circumstances—rhythm, speed, tempo (not if it is a short or long story)
- Narrative movements: devices that alter the rhythm of the narrative
• Ellipsis
• Summary
• Pause
• Slow-down
a64b0469ff35958ef4ab887a898bd50bdfbbe91a-6252601
Summary
- Sweeping over relatively long periods of time using little textual space→ effect of
speeding up
- Story-time is longer than narrative-time
- Introduced by a narrator or a character
- Provide background information
(a lot of information is given in a short textual space)

3-FREQUENCY
- The analysis of the relations between the repetitive capacities of the story and those
of the narrative
- It has to do with how many times an event takes place in the story and how many
times it is represented at the level of narrative discourse

- 4 possibilities
• Singular
• Plurisingular
• Repetitive
• Iterative
Singular narration
Repetitive narration
Iterative narration
- Where a single narrative utterance takes upon itself several occurrences together of
the same event
- Provides a short of informative frame of background
- An event takes place several times but is referred to only once (monotony routine,
habits)
“She always gave her entire wages—seven shillings—and Harry always sent up what he could but the
trouble was to get any money from her father. He said she used to squander the money, that she had no
head, that he wasn’t going to give her his hard-earned money to throw about the streets, and much more
he was usually fairly bad of a Saturday night, in the end he would give her the money and ask her had she
any intention of buying Sunday’s dinner. Then she had to rush out as quickly as she could and do the
marketing (…)”

1. My mother was convicted of felony for a certain petty theft scarce worth naming […]. The
circumstances are too long to repeat, and I have heard them related so many ways, that I can scarce be
certain which is the right account. However it was, this they all agree in, that my mother pleaded her
belly, and being found quick with child, she was respited for about seven months; in which time having
brought me into the world […] she […] obtained the favour of being transported to the plantations, and

left me about half a year old; and in bad hands, you may be sure. This is too near the first hours of my
life for me to relate anything of myself but by hearsay; it is enough to mention, that as I was born in
such an unhappy place, I had no parish to have recourse to for my nourishment in my infancy; nor can I
give the least account how I was kept alive […].
2. In the second year of his retirement, the marchioness brought him a daughter, and died in three days
after her delivery. The marquis, who had tenderly loved her, was extremely afflicted at her death; but
time having produced its usual effects, his great fondness for the little Arabella entirely engrossed his
attention, and made up all the happiness of his life. Nature had indeed given her a most charming face,
[…] and an air so full of dignity and grace, as drew the admiration of all that saw her. These native
charms were improved with all the heightenings of art; […] From her earliest youth she had discovered a
fondness for reading, which extremely delighted the marquis; he permitted her therefore the use of
his library, in which, unfortunately for her, were great store of romances […].
3. When the usual hour arrived the grand-vizir conducted Scheherazade to the palace, and left her alone
with the Sultan […]. But seeing her eyes full of tears, he asked what was the matter. "Sire," replied
Scheherazade, "I have a sister who loves me as tenderly as I love her. Grant me the favour of allowing
her to sleep this night in the same room, as it is the last we shall be together." Schahriar consented to
Scheherazade's petition and Dinarzade was sent for. An hour before daybreak Dinarzade awoke, and
exclaimed, as she had promised, "My dear sister, if you are not asleep, tell me I pray you, before the sun
rises, one of your charming stories […]." Scheherazade did not answer her sister, but turned to the
Sultan. "Will your highness permit me to do as my sister asks?" said she. "Willingly," he answered.
So Scheherazade began.
Sire, there was once upon a time a merchant who possessed great wealth, in land and merchandise, as
well as in ready money. He was obliged from time to time to take journeys to arrange his affairs.

Pa stands beside the bed. From behind his leg Vardaman peers, with his round head and his eyes round
and his mouth beginning to open.
She looks at pa; all her failing life appears to drain into her eyes, urgent, irremediable. "It's Jewel she
wants," Dewey Dell says. […] Then without looking at pa she goes around the bed and leaves the room.

1.Our father was actually fidgeting. “No, I just want to explain to you that—your Aunt Alexandra asked
me… son, you know you’re a Finch, don’t you?”
“That’s what I’ve been told.” Jem looked out of the corners of his eyes. His voice rose uncontrollably,
“Atticus, what’s the matter?”
2. He had never yet heard a young girl express herself in just this fashion; never, at least, save in cases
where to say such things seemed a kind of demonstrative evidence of a certain laxity of deportment.
And yet was he to accuse Miss Daisy Miller of actual or potential inconduite, as they said at Geneva? He
felt that he had lived at Geneva so long that he had lost a good Çdeal; he had become dishabituated to
the American tone. Never, indeed, since he had grown old enough to appreciate things, had he
encountered a young American girl of so pronounced a type as this. Certainly, she was very charming,
but how deucedly sociable! Was she simply a pretty girl from New York State?
3. But as soon as she saw him vexed again, she kissed his hand, and said she would sing him to sleep.
She began singing very low, till his fingers dropped from hers, and his head sank on his breast. Then I
told her to hush, and not stir, for fear she should wake him. We all kept as mute as mice a full half-hour,
and should have done so longer, only Joseph, having finished
his chapter, got up and said that he must rouse the master for prayers and bed.
4. The waiter. The table. My hat on the stand. Let's take our gloves off; drop them casually on the table;

gloves in my coat pockets. Blazing with light, golden, red, with its mirrors, this glitter, what? the
restaurant; the restaurant where I am. I was tired.
