TL;DR: This paper found that the vehicle through which narrative structure persuades is the hero character, and as positive affect for the hero increases so too do respondent preferences and beliefs in direction specified by the cultural narrative treatments.
Abstract: Findings indicate that while cultural content does not appear to influence opinions about climate change, narrative structure plays a powerful role in shaping opinion. Specifically, findings show that the vehicle through which narrative structure persuades is the hero character. Examining eleven climate change opinion related variables, as positive affect for the hero increases so too do respondent preferences and beliefs in direction specified by the cultural narrative treatments.

TL;DR: This paper explored the use of computational models to understand the novel's relationship to the narration of profound change as a vehicle of readerly devotion, and outlined the potential impact that the practice of computational modeling might have on our own affective attachments as critical readers.
Abstract: What would it mean for a novel to turn us as we turn its pages? How are we not simply moved, but transformed—turned around—through the novel’s combination of gestural and affective structures? How might we think, in other words, about the correspondences between the novel’s technics and its tropes in its ability to assume meaning for us as a genre on a profound personal level? This essay explores the use of computational models to understand the novel’s relationship to the narration of profound change as a vehicle of readerly devotion. It aims to give us new techniques for thinking about the novel’s significance as a genre, a significance that depends less on forms of critical estrangement and more on felt experiences of pronounced transformation. In doing so, it outlines the potential impact that the practice of computational modeling might have on our own affective attachments as critical readers.

TL;DR: This paper explored how the story-telling devices of disability, including in-dialogue versus disability-in-action and the endowment of characters with compensating characteristics, are employed in one segment of popular culture.
Abstract: The depiction of physical impairments in popular culture reflects as well as shapes public attitudes towards persons with disabilities. Scholars have begun to document images of disabilities (the ‘what’) in venues such as literary fiction, motion pictures, advertisements, and television programming but there has been less attention directed toward exploring the techniques through which images are delivered (the ‘how’). In this paper we explore how the story telling devices of disability—in-dialogue versus disability-in-action and the endowment of characters with compensating characteristics are employed in one segment of popular culture—literary fiction, one genre within this class—the detective novel, and one type of physical impairment—the deaf detective. Our findings suggest that the use of these devices is historically rooted and how they transform handicaps and disabilities into physical impairments thus decontextualizing what is essentially a social issue into one that is ascribed to indivi...
