Making (and Un-making) Meaning in Alejandro Zambra’s Multiple Choice
Alejandro Zambra’s Multiple Choice is comprised entirely of multiple choice questions. Readers report deriving rich inferences from the text because of, rather than despite, the metafictional form, observing how Zambra strategically foregrounds the processes involved in inferring and deciding upon meaning, and ably incorporating this foregrounding into their interpretations. Zambra’s text directly and deeply engages with fundamental pragmatic int…
Small Stories in Charity Fundraising Letters and the Ethics of Interwoven Individualism
The explicit imperative to "tell a story" recently dominating UK and US fundraising discourse refers specifically to the central compelling "story" of the representative victim/beneficiary, and yet there are multiple stories at work in charity fundraising letters, with interdependent narrative trajectories. This article draws on small stories research and on scholarship on storytelling and ethics to explore the relative narrativity of the stories…

An interview methodology for exploring the values that community leaders assign to multiple-use landscapes
Hatton MacDonald, D., R. Bark, A. MacRae, T. Kalivas, A. Grandgirard, and S. Strathearn. 2013. An interview methodology for exploring the values that community leaders assign to multiple-use landscapes. Ecology and Society 18(1): 29. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-05191-180129
Enhancing the critical apparatus for understanding metanarration
This article explores the deictic functioning of metanarrative expressions in fiction. Current theoretical approaches to metanarration are reviewed, and classifying terminology revised. This critique enables the development of a more nuanced typology of metanarration, exposes the lack of linguistic analysis of the functioning of metanarrative expressions, and indicates the deictic contribution to this functioning. The role of deixis within metana…
