Description:
The Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Narrative Theories showcases the latest approaches to diverse narratives across many media and in numerous disciplines.
Brief description: Zara Dinnen is Lecturer in Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Literature in the School of English and Drama at Queen Mary University of London, where she specializes in digital culture, new media arts, contemporary literature, and narrative theories. Her book, The Digital Banal: New Media and American Literature and Culture (Columbia University Press, 2017) recovers the novel conditions of becoming-with-technology latent in seemingly boring everyday encounters with digital media.
Review Quotes: This Companion provides a cutting-edge and highly stimulating intervention in the rapidly changing field of interdisciplinary and intermedial narratives theories. It will be essential reading not only for specialists, but for all students and teachers interested in new trajectories of contemporary narrative theory and the cultural politics of narrative form.-- "Ansgar Nünning, International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture Giessen"
