An ethics of participation: Spatial research with young children in urban spaces
Research in higher education requires us to address critical ethical questions, particularly when working with participants who have been historically and systematically underserved and marginalize
Animal Autobiography; Or, Narration beyond the Human
In engaging with acts of self-narration that cross species lines, creators of animal autobiographies also broach questions about genre, truth status, and the structure as well as the politics of narrative representation. To address these questions, the present article draws not just on scholarship on (animal) autobiography but also on ideas from the fields of linguistic semantics, politeness theory, and discourse analysis, including the "framing …
Narrative Theory and the Sciences of Mind
Studies situated at the intersection between narrative theory and the sciences of mind share a common focus on mental capacities and dispositions that provide grounds for – or, conversely, are grounded in – narrative experiences. Two broad questions are therefore centrally relevant for this domain of inquiry: How do stories across media interlock with interpreters' mental capacities and dispositions, thus giving rise to narrative experiences? and…

Description, Narrative, and Explanation: Text-Type Categories and the Cognitive Foundations of Discourse Competence
Description, narrative, and explanation can be viewed both as cognitive activities and as forms of communication, that is, text types embedded within sociocultural, institutional, and discipline-specific histories of practice. I relate these three text-type categories to research on categorization processes more generally, exploring what might constitute the "basic" level of a taxonomy of text types (i.e., the most cognitively fundamental level) …

Khadzhi-Murat's Silence
Khadzhi-Murat, Tolstoi's last major fiction, stands alone in his oeuvre in flagrant violation of his late ethical and aesthetic standards-an unprecedentedly dark apprehension of the human condition and a reconceptualization of piety. At its heart are silences-literal, near-, figurative, and implicit-in unspoken critique of all nontrivial language, narrative, moralizing, and teaching. Silence first strikes the reader in the hero's refusal to murmu…

A la recherche du sens perdu
Theory makes an admirable attempt to introduce recent developments in linguistic semantics—specifically, the work of J. J. Katz—to readers trained in literary criticism and theory. The author argues that Katz’s ideas are relevant to problems of literary interpretation, claiming that they provide a new perspective on the problem of ‘‘determinate meaning’ ’ in literature. Dowling construes determinate meaning as ‘‘the notion that it is intelligible…

Theories of Fiction and the Claims of Narrative Poetics
The end of the current millennium has proven to be a time rich not only in questions but in questions about how to frame the right questions. Recent theorizing about fiction is no exception. Questions about how best to investigate fiction-its nature and scope, its relation to nonfictional discourse, its ontological structure, its illocutionary markers, and its cultural functions in a world where virtuality reigns supreme, as metaphor, technology,…

Postmodernism as Secondary Grammar
I should like to begin as synoptically as possible, measuring the postmodern all at once and as if from some immense orbital apogee, launched, adrift, but actively scanning-via satellite. We shall thus adopt a position like that of Joseph McElroy's orbiting cyborg-human brain transmogrified into Interplanetary Monitoring Platform (IMP Plus)-processing a series of signals that have been transmitted to us in complex code.1 The signals, scripting ou…

Modernism versus Postmodernism: Towards an Analytic Distinction
reason and factual subjects, and reality-the latter two terms now taking on a specifically modernist charge. Put otherwise, the trend leading from symbolism to modernism was to confer upon highly particularized signifiers ever more limited access to transcendental signifieds; modernism, in parallel with something like Benjamin's notion of allegory, turns into a thematic difficulty that very access to latent meanings which symbolism took for grant…
