Description & Coverage
Description:

Studying narratives is often the best way to gain a good understanding of how various aspects of human information are organized and integrated—the narrator employs specific informational methods to build the whole structure of a narrative through combining temporally constructed events in light of an array of relationships to the narratee and these methods reveal the interaction of the rational and the sensitive aspects of human information.

Computational and Cognitive Approaches to Narratology discusses issues of narrative-related information and communication technologies, cognitive mechanism and analyses, and theoretical perspectives on narratives and the story generation process. Focusing on emerging research as well as applications in a variety of fields including marketing, philosophy, psychology, art, and literature, this timely publication is an essential reference source for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in various information technology, cognitive studies, design, and creative fields.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computational Narrative
  • Digital Storytelling
  • Linguistics
  • Narrative Analysis
  • Narrative Generation Systems
  • Narrative Genres
Reviews & Statements

Social science, information science, linguistics, computer science, health science, and business administration are among the disciplines represented by contributors who explore how the concepts and methods developed in narratology and literary theories can be applied in computational fields such as artificial intelligence and and cognitive science. In sections on generating and creating narratives; language and narrative; and cognition, culture, and narrative, they consider such topics as designing a socially open narrative generation system, applying digital storytelling to business planning, word order flexibility in Japanese novels: a dynamic syntax perspective, assessing the appeal power of narrative performance by using eyeblink synchronization among the audience, and kabuki as multiple narrative structures.
