1. Space across Narrative Media: Towards an Archaeology of Narratology

   This essay describes the way that digital narratives (both commercial video games and electronic literature) create two kinds of space: a primary storytelling space in which gameplay or reading occurs, and an orientating space through which those primary spaces are encountered. This orienting space might include a larger narrative world, a menu from which game options can be chosen, or some expressive frame for our reading and play. This essay examines space in narrative theory—especially the work of Ruth Ronen, Gabriel Zoran, David Herman, and Mikhail Bakhtin—in search of a theory able to accommodate this orienting space. After an analysis of the challenges of accounting for intentionally bounded or limited narrative space in these theories, this essay turns to Bakhtin’s under-appreciated distinction between the view from inside and outside of the chronotope, which offers an account of what it would mean to occupy such an orienting space. This essay concludes by arguing that the methodology adopted here can have a wider application.

5. The Law of Genre

   Jacques Derrida discusses “the law of genre” – the idea that genre has
   the function of imposing norms on literary and cultural practices: “As
   soon as the word ‘genre’ is sounded, as soon as it is heard, as soon as one
   attempts to conceive it, a limit is drawn. And when a limit is established,
   norms and interdictions are not far behind: ‘Do,’ ‘Do not’ says ‘genre,’
   the word ‘genre,’ the figure, the voice, or the law of genre” (Derrida 1980,
   p. 56). In Derrida’s view, genre functions more to exclude forms of literary
   practice than to elucidate them: “… as soon as a genre announces itself,
   one must respect a norm, one must cross a line of demarcation, one must
   not risk impurity, anomaly, or monstrosity” (p. 57).
