Explain Narration
Narration: focus on narrator=agent telling the story
homodiegetic narrator= double existence (narrating I, experiencing I) experiencing I is part of contenc as character
heterodiegetic narrator= only narrating I, tells story without being part of it, not one of the characters
texplicit/over= addresses reader directly, addresses himself as "I"
neutral/covert= doesn´t address reader or himself as "I"
Explain Focalization
Focalization: observer/perceiver/focalizer= agent perceiving the story
focalizer= subject of focalization -->someone perceives, words of perceiption
focalized= object of focalization -->someone or something is perceived
character focalizer= internal focalization, level of character -->charcter perceives
narrator focalizer= external focalization -->narrator perceives
fixed focalization= only one character becomes agent of perceiption
variable/multiple focalization
Name the narrative modes of presenting consciousness
psycho narration, free-indirect discourse, interior monolog
Explain the three categories of narrative modes of presenting consciousness
psycho narration: narrator is reporting thoughts --> he thought, she thought
free-indirect discourse: tries to imitate subjectivity of character -->!?... loose syntax
interior monlog: tries to imitate thoughts of character without narrator present --> no verbs of thinking ot feeling
Name the text types distinguished in a play
primary text: meant to be spoken secondary text:gives necessary information
Explain the plot structure of a play
open action: scenic presentation on stage
hidden action: spatially and temporally through hidden action we learn more about characters
spatially: something happens simoultaneously but we don´t see it
temporally: what happens before or in between acts
Define dialog (verbal communication in a play)
a succession of remarks and counterremarks between two or more characters
Define monolog (play)
the convention of a character thinking aloud on stage
Explain aside (play)
monological aside: character voices thoughts in a way only the audience undertsands
dialogical aside: a group of characters conduct a conversation in whsiper
aside ad spectatores: a character addresses a comment directly at the audience
Explain why monologs and asides compensate the lack of a mediating level
characters speak for themselves, there is no mediation needed. in aside ad spectatores you create the mediating level and in a monolog you compensate the mediating level
Explain the performance in a theatre in difference to a written text
in the performance in a theatre we have verbal (dialog, monolog, aside) as well as non-verbal modes of communication
non-verbal modes: acoustic dimension -->ring of phone, voices
optical dimension -->facial expressions, age,appearance
other modes of sensory perceiption --> temperature, vibration, smell
-therefore it is a multimedial form of presentation
-in a written text we do not have non-verbal modes of communication, we only have verbal modes of communication.
Definition of Literary Institution / System
The literary system can be described schematically as a network of relations consisting not only of literary texts, but also of the people that produce, mediate, read and process these texts, including authors, publishers, readers and critics.
