Point of View, Perspective, and Focalization: Modeling Mediation in Narrative

by Peter Hühn (Editor), Wolf Schmid (Editor), Jörg Schönert (Editor)

Stories do not actually exist in the world but are created and structured - modeled - through the process of mediation, i.e. through the means and techniques by which they are represented. This is an important field, not only for narratology but also for literary and media studies. The articles in this volume, contributed by international scholars from seven countries, address this problem anew by reviewing the differentiation of mediation and re-defining its dimensions both in literary texts and other media such as drama and theater, film, and computer games.
