Presentation
PresentationThe purpose of the group Narrative Research Lab is the investigation of narrative in various media and art forms; its forms, techniques and voices, its cross medial potential and its relations to different cultural discourses. The issues of narrative are addressed from a variety of positions and perspectives, focusing on topics like unreliable narration, narrative sequencing, intermediality, remediation, realism, irony, autofiction and autobiography and other non-fictional narratives like testimonies. The team draws on a wide range of Scandinavian and foreign works of art from the Icelandic sagas over 18 th Century poetry and travel literature to modern and contemporary literature, film, TV productions and performance art. This involves authors like H.C. Andersen, Edgar Allan Poe, August Strindberg, Hans Nordrup, Johannes V. Jensen, Karen Blixen, Bret Easton Ellis, film directors like Brian Singer, Lars von Trier, Stanley Kubrick, David Fincher and Christoffer Boe and artists like Kristian von Hornsleth and Claus Beck-Nielsen. The group currently consists of 19 members from different universities, but with a core group situated at the University of Aarhus which is evenly balanced between senior researchers and PhD students. Next meeting:Wednesday January 12 from 12.30-15.00 in 1467/216 at Aarhus University. Everyone is welcome Projects

Conducted Summer SchoolsIPIN 2010
"NEW MEDIA/NEW NARRATIVES" was the second summer school at IPIN and it brought together 34 students from 12 different countries and 12 different with 10 teachers. The two exciting weeks were spent investigating and discussing on the one hand the ways new types of media (online social networks, computer games, digital literature, hypertext fiction) use, transform and challenge traditional concepts and functions of narratives and on the other hand the ways in which traditional media strive to make it new by stressing, reinventing, or transgressing the notions of mediality typically assigned to them.
