In this interview Mary-Laure Ryan faces some problems that arise from her definition of «transmedia narrative». Can every semiotic system tell stories? How can we elaborate a defini-tion of «narrative» which accounts both for cognitive and semantic aspects? How can we dis-pense with the syntactic level if we need a definition of «narrativity» that suits every semiotic system? Answering these questions, Ryan deals with other proposals developed around the same theoretical problems, and points out a thought-provoking argument against Meir Stern-berg‟s functionalist definition of narrative.

Abstract

In this interview Mary-Laure Ryan faces some problems that arise from her definition of «transmedia narrative». Can every semiotic system tell stories? How can we elaborate a defini-tion of «narrative» which accounts both for cognitive and semantic aspects? How can we dis-pense with the syntactic level if we need a definition of «narrativity» that suits every semiotic system? Answering these questions, Ryan deals with other proposals developed around the same theoretical problems, and points out a thought-provoking argument against Meir Stern-berg‟s functionalist definition of narrative.
