5.0 crédits ECTS 30.0 h 2q

Teacher(s)	Lits Marc ; Desterbecq Joëlle (compensates Lits Marc) ;
Language	French
Place of the course	Louvain-la-Neuve
Main themes	The course has a number of main objectives: - to define the specific nature of narrative communication and the functions of the narrative in the communication process - to analyse the process whereby societies use their stories to create, sustain and develop themselves; - to put into perspective the theories and methodologies particular to narrative analysis, which have been inspired by traditional Narratology and adapted for the analysis of modern media production.
Aims	By the end of this course, students should be fully familiar with the principal theories of narrative analysis, both productive and receptive. They should be able to demonstrate a critical understanding of authors and theories and be able to apply their knowledge to other communicative objects (information media, fiction, advertising..). Students should both acquire the basic foundations of Narratology and be able to demonstrate this through exercises on defined communication objects.
Content	- A range of narrative theories will be introduced from the viewpoint of the specifically communicational approach they offer. - The conditions pertaining to narrative production and reception will be analysed: narrative is viewed as a special means of structuring the social universe. - The course also functions as a critical introduction to the main methods of narrative analysis and some specific concepts (the media figure, temporality, focalisation) Course format: Lectures and case-studies
Other information	Prerequisite: COMU 1121 General Semiotics COMU 1221 Semio-pragmatics Evaluation: Students will be evaluated both on their understanding of the theoretical issues discussed in the course and on their ability to use the analytical tools and apply them critically to specific media objects relevant to their own subject options.
