Description

Proposes a new Deleuzian model for understanding narrativeWhat is narrative?

Ridvan Askin brings together aesthetics, contemporary North American fiction, Gilles Deleuze, narrative theory and the recent speculative turn to answer this question.

Through this process, he develops a transcendental empiricist concept of narrative.

Askin argues against the established consensus of narrative theory for an understanding of narrative as fundamentally nonhuman, unconscious and expressive.
