Title: Narrare al tempo della globalizzazione
Description: The volume takes into account the main aspects of contemporary narrative, both Western and Eastern, with a look at the world's best known writers, such as Murakami and Dan Brown, and the most experimental TV series, orienting the critical outlook on the future world of aesthetic production. In particular, the book analyzes the themes, interlacing patterns, narrators and characters, the space-time constants, the introduction of authors who take advantage of a global audience and transform themselves into brand-names. For the editorial industry, the spread of immersive and empathetic reading modes, the serialization of stories, the constant adaptation of narratives (from verbal to film and television, and vice versa), the pervasive presence of fantasy as a style of globalization that has replaced the old magical realism of Latin American origin and, finally, the world's triumph of the graphic novel.
