This collection of essays looks at two important manifestations of postclassical narratology
namely transmedial narratology on the one hand and unnatural narratology on the other. The
articles deal with films graphic novels computer games web series the performing arts
journalism reality games music musicals and the representation of impossibilities. The
essays demonstrate how new media and genres as well as unnatural narratives challenge classical
forms of narration in ways that call for the development of analytical tools and modelling
systems that move beyond classical structuralist narratology. The articles thus contribute to
the further development of both transmedial and unnatural narrative theory two of the most
important manifestations of postclassical narratology.
