The Narrative Conference is dedicated to the study of investigation of
narrative, its elements, techniques, and forms; its relation to other
modes of discourse; and its power in cultures past and present. We
welcome papers or panels on all aspects of narrative theory and
practice, from any genre, period, nationality, discipline, or medium.
We encourage literary subjects (including poetry, pre-modern narrative
and film), as well as cross-cultural and interdisciplinary topics
(including folklore, history, law, philosophy, and science).
