Point of view, perspective, and focalization : modeling mediation in narrative

Peter Hühn; Wolf Schmid; Jörg Schönert

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.

Fictional vs. Factual Narration

Peter Hühn; John Pier; Wolf Schmid; Jörg Schönert

Factual and fictional narrative are generally defined as a pair of opposites. However, there is no consensus as to the rationale of this opposition. Three major competing definitions have been proposed: (a) semantic definition: factual narrative is referential whereas fictional narrative has no reference (at least not in “our” world); (b) syntactic definition: factual narrative and fictional narrative can be distinguished by their logico-linguistic syntax; (c) pragmatic definition: factual narrative advances claims of referential truthfulness whereas fictional narrative advances no such claims. One could add a fourth definition, narratological in nature: in factual narrative author and narrator are the same person whereas in fictional narrative the narrator (who is part of the fictional world) differs from the author (who is part of the world we are living in) (Genette [1991] 1993: 78–88). But this fourth definition is better seen as a consequence of the pragmatic definition of fiction.

Zur Theorie-Rezeption in der russischen und tschechischen Literaturwissenschaft

Wolf Schmid

Der Russische Formalismus, die Prager Schule und der sowjetische Strukturalismus haben der westlichen Analysetheorie weit uber die Slavistik hinaus wesentliche Impulse gegeben. Aus westlicher Perspektive wird freilich leicht ubersehen, das der Wirksamkeit dieser Richtungen im Westen nicht eine gleiche Entfaltungsmoglichkeit in den Heimatlandern entsprach. Alle drei Schulen unterlagen in ihren Ursprungskontexten erheblicher politischer Restriktion. Erst seit den politischen Umsturzen der achtziger Jahre konnen sich die Theorien in Forschung, Publikation und Lehre frei entfalten. Nun aber hat sich tragischerweise der Rezeptionshintergrund verandert. Sowohl in Rusland als auch in Tschechien beobachten wir kulturpragmatische Entwicklungen, die eine kreative Diskussion der heimischen Theorieansatze und ihre Konfrontation mit neueren westlichen Denkrichtungen behindern. Diese Entwicklungen sind in den beiden Landern unterschiedlich. Deshalb mussen sie gesondert dargestellt werden. Vorausgeschickt wird jeweils eine kurze historische Bemerkung zum je besonderen kulturellen Ort von Literatur und formalistisch-strukturalistischer Literaturtheorie. Dabei wird davon ausgegangen, das der Charakter einer Theorie eine Ableitung ihres kulturpragmatischen Kontextes ist.
