Klappentext zu „Stories Within Stories “
Stories Within Stories focuses on a seminal aspect of recent narrative theory. The book first negotiates between French Structuralists and Russian Formalists, isolating the notion of narrative framing. Then the book incorporates the work on cybernetics of Gregory Bateson. With its own framework established, the book confronts the work of Cervantes, Laurence Sterne and Julio Cortázar. The consequent picture of embedded narrative, enhanced by a lucid consideration of a central tenet of Artificial Intelligence, Frame Theory, recalls the classical dilemma of how to represent knowledge. The result is a convincing demonstration of the epistemological implications of all forms of representation.

Pressezitat
"Dr. Seager's use of Bateson's cybernetic model to arrive at an open metadiegetic theory of narrative should be extremely useful to both scholars and students of literature as a possible model of the world, as are indeed the chapters devoted to three of the world's major novels: 'Don Quixote', 'Tristam Shandy', and 'Rayuela'." (Monique J. Lemaitre, Northern Illinois University)"Seager's intelligent combination of narrative and cybernetic theories produces a strong contextualist theory of meaning, which permits him to expose new and useful perspectives on 'Don Quixote', 'Tristam Shandy', and modern Latin American classics." (Tobin Siebers, University of Michigan)
