Narratology has been conceived as a project that transcends disciplines and media. This book investigates how the intrinsic properties of the supporting medium shape the form of narrative and affect the narrative experience. It addresses the question of how narrative migrates, mutates, and creates meaning as it is expressed across various media.

Cutting across many disciplines, narratology describes the language of narrative with its regularly recurring patterns, deeply established conventions for transmission, and interpretive codes, whether in novels, cartoons, or case studies. This book offers access to terms and concepts that are defined, illustrated, and cross-referenced.
