The Narrative Framework
(2023)
Grouping pieces of fiction according to various differentiating criteria and ascribing generic names to the result is a taxonomic task that has its counterpart in biology in classifying species. This visual essay is about literary families (not genres) such as ‘science fiction’ or ‘historical fiction.’ I developed three appropriate criteria for positioning a narrative in the ‘mental’ space of written fiction.
Semiosis is the process in which a sign unfolds its effect—the meaning that humans ‘suddenly’ see in acts, objects or facts. The semiotic tenet is applied to the event and the question of why we narrate it. The graphics are dedicated to the author’s contribution: ‘The event and its consequences: a semiotic analysis.’
