Foundations of Narrative مقالة

". 8 If we elaborate slightly on the story of the child falling, we can show how much we rely on the free use of narrative to shape time based on human priorities: The child fell, a little later stood up and ran, until finally, upon seeing their mother, burst into tears and shouted: "I fell". In other words, what is evident in the image is the fluctuation of time, especially the narrative time governing the scene; the sequence of essential events that concludes with what lies before the eyes. This definition is important because it encompasses the full spectrum of attractive and essential characteristics of the field of narrative: the complex interaction that involves events, their modes of representation (whether through narrator, actor, color, or other tools), and the audience. Part of my emphasis stems from the fact that the way I use the word is very common today and, on the other hand, representation reminds us that the story existed prior to the narrative, as if this existence were nothing more than imagination and illusions. So far, we have distinguished three categories from one another: narrative means the representation of events, which includes story and narrative discourse. In other words, stories can be expressed with the help of various media and tools, and none of the tools, including the narrator, are necessarily vital and present in a specific narrative. What we see at the beginning of the narrative discourse's stretching is micro-events, none of which are considered necessary for the story.
