(Un)Reliability in Narrative Discourse: A Comprehensive Overview
1 The State of the Art: A Field in Trouble.2 (Un)Reliable Discourse off to a Stimulating Equivocal Start: Why Wayne Booth's The Rhetoric of Fiction Falls Short and Where to Go from There: 2.1 Stammering between Narrator and Implied Author, or, Why the Author Needs to Keep Silent; 2.1.1 The Best Version, Considering; 2.1.2 Two-Mindedness; 2.1.3 Confusing the Communicators: Forms, Penalties, Lessons; 2.1.4 The Implied Author Vulnerable to Reliabili…
Mimesis and Motivation: The Two Faces of Fictional Coherence
This paper deals with "motivation" as fiction's twofold logic of patterning and relates it to other concepts or lines of sense-making (e.g., integration, naturalization). The argument is best summarized through the paper's headings.1. Why Is the Discourse Like That? Motivation as Twofold Reason-Giving2. Reality, Artifice, and Motivation: Doctrinal Biases, Variable Products, Universal Modes; 2.1 Aristotle's Mimesis of Nature by Art; or, Why Plot a…
Narrativity: From Objectivist to Functional Paradigm
Prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Female Adolescents Aged 14 to 19 in the United States
OBJECTIVE: Most young women initiate sexual activity during adolescence; risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) accompanies this initiation. In this study we estimated the prevalence of the most common STIs among a representative sample of female adolescents in the United States. METHODS: Data were analyzed from 838 females who were aged 14 to 19 and participating in the nationally representative National Health and Nutrition Examination…
Prevalence of HPV Infection Among Females in the United States
CONTEXT: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is estimated to be the most common sexually transmitted infection. Baseline population prevalence data for HPV infection in the United States before widespread availability of a prophylactic HPV vaccine would be useful. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of HPV among females in the United States. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) uses …

Omniscience in Narrative Construction: Old Challenges and New
Since modernism, narrative omniscience has been much attacked, yet little studied and understood. This in inverse ratio to the central role it actually plays in narrative discourse and metadiscourse alike: the telling, reading, grouping, evolving, conceptualizing of stories, invented (e.g., novelistic) or inspired (biblical, Homeric). Here I review the various old-new critical thrusts against epistemic superprivilege (outright denials, partisan j…
Telling in Time (III): Chronology, Estrangement, and Stories of Literary History
Trumpeted as the artistic hallmark, central to Russian Formalism, and persistent ever since, estrangement yet remains an ill-defined term. We have nothing like a comprehensive approach to it, equipped to specify its workings by kind, medium, art form, discourse level, historical context. Narrative, Shklovsky's own forte, would appear the paradigm case, as the most inclusive genre and the most akin to art's and life's temporal movement. I accordin…
Universals of Narrative and Their Cognitivist Fortunes (II)
We now return to the three narrative universals from another viewpoint, that of false cognitivist pretenders to the title. The chief pretenders, as in Brewer et al., appear at times under the guise and the very name of the genuine article, yet essentially align with their naked disciplinary equivalents. You may therefore want to refresh your memory of the original definitions cited in section 1 of the first part of this article (Sternberg 2003: 3…
Universals of Narrative and Their Cognitivist Fortunes (I)
Now this poor fellow, continued Dr. Slop, pointing to the corporal, has had the misfortune to have heard some superficial empiric discourse upon this nice point
Associations of Depression, Self-Esteem, and Substance Use with Sexual Risk among Adolescents
Factives and Perspectives: Making Sense of Presupposition as Exemplary Inference
Inference has long been the concern of assorted disciplines that vary in focus, rationale, apparatus, terminology, and achievement. There would appear an inverse proportion between the range and the orderliness of the knowledge accumulated by the various disciplines. Literary study tends to the first extreme, logic and its heritage in modern pragmatics to the second, either imbalance precluding a viable account of the field or even a comprehensiv…
The Plight of the Non-Combatant in Civil War and the New Criteria for Refugee Status
This article explores the refugee standard in United States asylum law as applied to noncombatants caught up in the violence of civil unrest, principally on the basis of two recent decisions of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) expanding the availability of political asylum for claims arising in the context of non-international armed conflict. Historically, decisions in the United States have ranged between those recognizing the weight of ge…
Telling in Time (II): Chronology, Teleology, Narrativity
1. What's Become of Narrativity? Reasons and Reasonings about Temporal Order A poem, according to Coleridge, reconciles the delights of the whole with those located in each component part. Delights apart, the present series aims at a comparable balance in developing its argument, especially as we now turn from empirical coverage to logical and teleological cogency in accounts of narrative time. This turn-whereby we approach the heart of the matte…
The Politics of Biblical Narratology: Reading the Bible like/as a Woman
Telling in Time (I): Chronology and Narrative Theory
My main title has two bearings on narrative, one necessary, the other optional, one directed to the medium and the other to the object of narration. On the one hand, telling in is telling in a temporal medium, where all items and structures and effects must unfold in an ordered sequence. Whether viewed from the transmitting or the receiving end, communication there proceeds along a continuum. This is evidently a sine qua non for verbal storytelli…

The King through Ironic Eyes: Biblical Narrative and the Literary Reading Process
To understand a literary work, we have, in the course of reading, to answer a series of such questions as: What is the represented situation? What is happening, and why? What is the connection between what is taking place at this particular moment and what went before, and how do both relate to what will probably come after? What are the motives and designs of this or that character, and to what extent is he aware of them? How does he view other …
