  • Reading Intended Meaning Where None Is Intended

    H Porter AbbottARTICLEPoetics Today2011Citada por: 3Referencias: 21

    From a cognitivist perspective, I defend the utility of the implied author for the interpretation of fictional texts that support more than one intentional reading. David Herman (2008) provides a foil in his opposition to the implied author as object-like source and his promotion of the reading of intentionality as it appears in a distributed field of cues. This understanding of intentionality, he argues, is embedded in our "folk psychology" and …

  • The Cambridge Introduction to Narrative

    Open AccessH Porter AbbottBOOKCambridge Introduction to Narrative2008

    What is narrative? How does it work and how does it shape our lives and the texts we read? H. Porter Abbott emphasizes that narrative is found not just in literature, film, and theater, but everywhere in the ordinary course of people's lives. This widely used introduction, now thoroughly revised, is informed throughout by recent developments in the field and includes two new chapters. With its lucid exposition of concepts and suggestions for furt…

  • Narrative and Emergent Behavior

    H Porter AbbottARTICLEPoetics Today2008Citada por: 1Referencias: 7

    The difficulty of understanding emergent behavior is usually attributed to our need to see in it the operation of some kind of centralized control where there is in fact none (Keller 1985, Resnick 1994). Yet as a species, we seem to have little difficulty with complex narratives in which there is no centralized control and in which chance often plays a major role (tragedies, comedies, most novels and films). I argue that the principal reason for …

    ECAUSE IT IS MADE UP, a story ends where it ends. In this way there is a connection between the kind of shape and the kind of truth we expect in fictional narrative. When students come up after class to ask if Lady Brett Ashley or Jake Barnes is going to commit suicide, we ask them to unask the question. Were the deaths of Lady Brett or Jake Barnes at all important, Hemingway would have made them a part of the story. Students of course are free t…
