TL;DR: This paper proposes a bi-directional communication structure for interactive storytelling systems, based on narratology theory and communication film theory, to facilitate the formulation of a better definition of the various constituent elements of interactive storytelling communication, and the functions they fulfill.
Abstract: Interactive work on new media platforms differs from familiar work on more traditional media, such as literature, theatre, cinema and television, in terms of their narrative-communication situation. Interactive works, unlike cinematic works, allow the viewer to participate to a different extent, involving a reciprocal communication process. In this paper I propose a bi-directional communication structure for interactive storytelling systems, based on narratology theory and communication film theory. I adapt existing narrative-communication models of conventional media, mainly those of Seymour Chatman and Vivian Sobchack, to suggest a detailed narrative-communication model for interactive storytelling systems, which would facilitate the formulation of a better definition of the various constituent elements of interactive storytelling communication, and the functions they fulfill.

TL;DR: A kind of interview whose narrative structure has the interviewee-narrator assuming different personas during its course is discussed, which links narrative to experience by examining certain dialogic processes in narratives that engage in, as well as reflect on, practice, in this case, a kind of self-therapy.

TL;DR: This work proposes a method combining emergent narrative theory and game monitoring to create a new system of dynamic generation of narrative based on a multi-agent architecture, which supervises and monitors the game execution.
Abstract: Interactive narrative and video games are two fields divided between the will to follow a scenario and that to offer a maximum of freedom and interaction. We propose a method combining emergent narrative theory and game monitoring to create a new system of dynamic generation of narrative. This method is based on a multi-agent architecture, which supervises and monitors the game execution.allIt uses of narrative structures descriptors as a reference to lead the evolution of an emergent narrative world. A first application has been developed to test the validity of the system in term of effectiveness and computational cost.

TL;DR: The first book-length study of film music narratology, "Music and Levels of Narration in Film" as discussed by the authors, brings together the so-far piecemeal scholarly contributions on the subject and proposes a narratological toolkit for the description and analysis of music in film.
Abstract: This is the first book-length study of the narratology of film music. It brings together work on film music theory and analysis and the literature of narratology and film narratology. It proposes a narratological toolkit for the description and analysis of music in film. It is an indispensable resource for anyone researching or studying film music or film narratology. The first book-length study of film music narratology, "Music and Levels of Narration in Film" brings together the so-far piecemeal scholarly contributions on the subject. Extending the discussion beyond the current fixation on the diegetic/non-diegetic distinction (music that is or is not understood as part of the story world of a film), Heldt systematically discusses music on different levels of narration: from the extra-fictional to 'focalizations' of subjectivity, and music's movement between them. Heldt proposes a toolkit of narratological concepts for understanding film music and introduces the reader to the less widely known French and German language literature on the subject. Including a study of genres and of the narrative strategies of music in individual films, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone researching or studying film music or film narratology.
