EDITED BY RAPHAEL BARONI

THEORY AND INTERPRETATION OF NARRATIVE
James Phelan, PeterJ. Rabinowitz, and Robyn Warhol, Series Editors

"Norrotive Seguence in Contemporory Norrotology coheres very strongly as a series of explor-

ations ofcurrent research from various perspectives on what narrative theory can tell us
about sequence-mostly sequence of discourse, though occasionally sequence of story.
People who do narrative theory and who teach narrative theory will want to read this
book." -DAVID RICHTER, CUNY GRADUATE SCHOOL

Since Aristotle, there has been an assumption that narrative is a representation of actions
or sequences of events, that this representation aims to elicit emotions, and that well-
formed narratives constitute a whole, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. The nature,
role, and relative importance of constituent notions like "sequence of events" and "plot"
have been discussed repeatedly and, as a result, have become rather slippery. While recent
developments in contemporary narrative theory, such as unnatural, transmedial, cogni-
tive, and functionalist narratology, shed new light on these notions, Norrotive Sequence
in Contemporory Norrotoloqy goes beyond specific approaches to narrative, illuminating
sequence and plot in all the diversity of their manifestations, forms, and functions.

This volume, edited by Raphaêl Baroni and Françoise Revaz, includes contributions from
some of the most influential scholars in narrative studies: Alain Boillat, Peter Hühn,
Emma Kafalenos, Franco Passalacqua, James Phelan, Federico Pianzola, John Pier,
Gerald Prince, Brian Richardson, Marie-Laure Ryan, Eyal Segal, and Michael Toolan.
Essays range in focus from musical narrativity and rhetorical narrative theory to comic
strips and re-examinations of classical and postclassical narratology. All of the essays con-
tribute fresh understandings of foundational concepts in the field of narratology.

The Many Ways of Dealing with Sequence
in Contemporary Narratology
RAPHAËL BARONI

I
I

SINCE ARISTOTLE, poeticians and, more recentl¡ semioticians, linguists,

and narratologists have debated many basic features of narrative first identi-
fied in Ihe Poetics. Among them, we frnd the common assumption that nar-
rative is an "imitation' or "representation' of actions (mimesis praxeos); that
this "representation'aims to elicit emotions, such as fear and hope; and that
"well-formed" stories are organized as a "whole" (holos), meaning that they
possess a beginning, a middle, and an end. These three aspects of narrative are
related to temporality, since actions told unfold in time, fear and hope orient
the attention of the audience toward an uncertain resolution, and the unity of
representation is assured by the cataphoric function ofthe beginning and the
anaphoric function ofthe ending.
Since then, however, there have been many ways to deal with the nature,
role, and relative importance of each of these components of narrative
sequences. Indeed, as stated by Hilary Dannenberg: "Many key definitions
of narrative hinge on the aspect of temporal sequentialit¡ and the repeated
attempts to redefine the parameters of plot reflect both the centrality and
the complexity of the temporal dimension of narrative" ("Plot" 435). Based
on the duality of fabula and sjuzhet emphasized by Boris Tomachevsk¡ con-
ceptualizations of narrative sequence can be linked either to the chronology
of the events, to its reorganization by the narrative representation, or to the

1
I -r-
2 IN'f RODUCTION, RAPHAËL BARONI
interplay between these two sequential dimensions.r Derived from Aristotle's
mutltos, the concept of plot-not necessarily synonymolls with sequence-
is even more polysemic, since it can be related to each of these aspects and can
also describe additional properties: for example, "plot" can be understood as
the causal relation between the events told (Forster) or as a rhetorical device
whose primary function is to arouse a "cognitive desire'for a possible end-
ing (Brooks Dannenbe rg, Coincidence and Couttterfactttality 6; Baroni r8)'
37;
while "emplotment" is sometimes viewed as a coufìguratiotl couferring mean-
ing and unity on the enclless and cìraotic flow of time (Ricæur). This has lecl
H. Porter Abbott to state that plot "is an even slipperier term than narration,
both more polyvalent and more approximate in its meanings' indeed so
'vague
in ordinary usage' that narratologists often avoid it altogether" (43). Hence'
while it is necessary to distinguish between the slippery notion of plot and a
more precise conceptualization of narrative sequences-with a focus on føb-
ulq andlor sjuzlrct-, there is a need to clarify the relation between the two
concepts, because it is obvious that plot is connected in some ways with the
Sequential nature of narratives. In a recent survey, Karin Kukkonen suggests
I distinguishing between "three basic ways of conceptualizing plot":
(r) plot as a fixed, global structure. The configuratior.r of the arrangement
of all story evetlts, from beginr.ring, micldle to end, is considered'
(za) Plot as progressive strrlcturation. The conuections between story
events, motivations, and consequences as readers perceive them are
considered.
(zb) plot aspart ofthe authorial design. The author's way ofstructuring the
narrative to achieve particular effects is consiclered. (52-SS)
In this volume, while some authors, like Prince or Hühn, focus more spe-
cifically on the configuration of the story events, others, Iike Eyal Segal or
of the story
lames Phelan, are more focusecl on the proglessive structuration
by the reader and the authorial design of the narrative discourse. Indeed, the
history of narratology provides an interesting insight on how various episte-
mological frameworks influence the way "slippery" objects are seized. while
forrnalists and structuralists mainly focused their attention on the logical
(and
organization of fully formed stories in orcler to describe their immanent
more or less invariant) sequential organization, more recent paradigms-
inclucling reception theory (Eco), psychoanalysis (Brooks), rhetoric (Phelan'
Sternberg), and cognitive science (Herman, Ryan, Fludernik)-have privileged
r. on this specific irspect, see Ster.nber.g, Exltosítionnl Modes Lutd Tbnryot nl ot dcrítry.
SEQUENCE IN CON'lEMPOIìARY NARRATOLOGY ' 3
a more dynamic perspective, highlighting the moving confìguration of nar-
rative sequences in the reader's mind while they progress through the story.
As discussed by Franco Passalacqua and Federico Pianzola in the conclusion
of this volume, this "shift"2 can be also described as an epistemological tension
between an objectivist conceptiou, centered on a reified and/or idealizedfab-
ula, and a constructivist conception, focusing on the interaction between the
objective features of narrative representations and the subjective experietrce
of the audience. This shift stood out clearly when Umberto Eco wrote, in ry79'
thal fabula "is not produced once the text has been clefìnitely read: the .føbula
is the result of a continuous series of abductions made during the course of
the reading. Therefore, the fabula is always experienced step by step" (:r). This
conception is far removed from the formalist description of narrative func-
tions found in Vladimir Propp's highly influential Morphology, since, as noted
by David Herman, "[Propp's] approach gave an overly deterministic color-
ation to narrative sequences. . . . Part of the interest and complexity of nar-
rative depends on the merely probabilistic, not cleterministic, links between
sorne actions and events" (Story Logic g+). In 1984, Peter Brooks described this
change of focus by highlighting the dynamics of plots in connection with the
reader's affective experience:
I am convinced that the study ofnarrative needs to rnove beyond the various
formalist criticisms that have predominatecl in our time: formalisrns that
have taught us much, but which ultimately-as the later work of Barthes
recognizecl-cannot cleal with the dynamics of texts as actualized ir-r the
reading process. (¡s-¡6)
Twenty years later, Emma Kafalenos, offering a panorama on contempo-
rary narratolog¡ insisted on the new importance conferred on the interaction
between the reader ancl the representation:
What I see new is the specificity of the analysis of how readers' clecisions
contribute to the constluction of the narrative worid' ' '. Further devel-
opments along this path, if it occttrs, wiìl bring us an increasingly precise
accoLrnt of sites where indeterrninacy can enter a narrative representation,
and of conditions that heighteu the interactivity between representation and
reader in constructing uarrative worlcls. (rr4)
z. We should rather speak of "shift" iusteacl of "evolution' sitrce, as statecl by Sternberg,
functionalist paracligms existed lclng before and cven contemporaneously rvith forlnalist and
structuralist theories (see "Reconceptualizing Narratology"). This is the reason rvhy Sternberg
also rejects the opposition betweett'tlassical" ancl "postclassical" narratologies.

INTRODUCT'ION, RAPHAËL BARONI
4
More recently, Hilary Dannenberg proposed a definition of plot aimed at
encompassing the logical configuration of the fabula-which constituted
the main focus of interest in formalist and structuralist paradigrns-and the
"dynamics of texts" related to the reader's progression through the text. To do
so, she considers "cognitive desire" to be in possession ofthe
"final configura-
tion' of the stor¡ but this "coherent and definitive constellation of events" can
be revealed only at the closure of the narrative, while "plot in its unresolved
aspect" is described as "an ontologically Llnstable matrix of possibilities"
(Coitrcidence and Cowtterfactuality r3). Capitalizing on older concepts, but
also opening up new perspectives embracing questions that include narrative
interest, narrative progression, and the cognitive and emotional engagement
of the reader, we see that, at least in Dannenberg's conception, the evolution of
narrative theory over the past forty years does not necessarily lead to a clash of
paradigms. As stated by David Herman: "Rethinking the problem of narrative
I sequences can promote the development of a postclassical narratology that
is not necessarily poststructuralist, an enriched theory that draws on con-
cepts and methods to which the classical narratologists did not have access"
I ("Scripts, Sequences, and Stories" ro48-49).
In this volume, Gerald Prince's opening chapter offers a broad overview
of the various ways classical and postclassical narratologies have repeatedly
tried to (re)define narrative sequence. Prince points out the tensions but also
the convergences and relations between these definitions, especially by dis-
cussing the relative importance of text and context. In his chapter, John Pier
then sets forth a configurational approach to narrative sequence that is both
prototypical and intersequential. Prototypicall¡ narrative sequence is a form
of 'diagrammatic iconicity" (Peirce) for patterning chronological-causal rela-
tions into a transformation from an initial to a final state. As such, sequence
is not characlerized by narrativity. Viewed intersequentiall¡ the sequence is
the product of the relations between "the absolute dynamics of the causally
propelled action' and "the variable dynamics of the reading-process" (Stern-
berg) and thus emerges from the dynamic forces of narrativity. As for Peter
Hühn, he shows how the notion of "eventfulness," which plays a central role
in the dynamics of plots and the definition of narrativity, is closely linked to
cultural and historical contexts, since the perception by the reader of "some-
thing meaningful happening" is necessarily linked to a situated interpreta-
tion. He also distinguishes between two types of 'tventsi' since something
can happen in the story but remain pointless or insignificant in the narrative
economy, while some "non-events" can become highly "eventful" when they
are seen as an alternative to specific expectations'
SEQUENCE IN CONTEMPORARY NARRATOLOGY . 5
While the first chapters deal primarily with the question of the relation
between narrative sequence and narrativit¡ the second section illustrates more
specifically the rhetorical paradigms that have improved our understanding of
the narrative fnnctions shaping the reader's progression through the text' thus
marking an important revision of "classical" models of narrative sequence.
As stated by Wayne C. Booth, the rhetoric of plot that originated in Aristotle's
reflections on catharsis was neglected by the New Criticism under the allega-
tions of"plot heresy" and the "intentional" and "affective" fallacies (8+). Over
the last forty years, however, we have witnessed the emergence of a "second
generation rhetorical theory" helping to recontextualize narrative structures
in the light of the relationship between an "implied author" and its "authorial
audience" (Shen). fames Phelan's contribution to this volume offers an exem-
plary case ofthis new rhetorical approach centered on narrative progression.
In this case, he analyzes different kinds of "privileged authorial disclosures"
and their effects on the reader. In the next chapter, Eyal Segal, following the
perspective opened up by Meir Sternberg, examines various characteristics
of alternative endings, the two major ones being the relations between the
endings' degree of (un)happiness and of (un)conventionality (e.g., in terms
of closure/openness). Raphaël Baroni, meanwhile, argues that unactualized
virtualities of the story may preserve their emotional impact on the reitera-
tion of a narrative, especially when they belong explicitly to Íhe føbulø and are
associated with specific value-laden alternatives.
In a survey dealing with the recent evolutions in narrative studies, fan
Christoph Meister signals "a shift in focus from text-based phenomena to the
cognitive functions of oral and non-literary narrative, thus opening a new
chapter in the narratological project" (34o). Meister insists particularly on
studies that "explore the relevance of narratological concepts for the study of
genres and media outside the traditional object domain of text-based literary
narrative" (34o). The studies gathered in this volume offer an opportunity to
illustrate the challenge raised by narratives that depart from the canonical
stories we find in classical literary works. Highlighting a phenomenon similar
to the paradoxical suspense analyzed in the previous chapte¡ Alain Boillat
and Françoise Revaz study the narrative interest of comics series, where mul-
tiple variations around a single motif are able to captivate the audience. As for
Michael Toolan, he takes up the controversial issue of musical narrativit¡
showing how a sequential art, while being apparently nonreferential, can be
related to some kind of narrative experience. In the last chapter of this section,
Emma Kafalenos introduces the concept of "matrix" in order to explain how
speciflc groups of people interpret differently the same event (and therefore its
