Main content
The workshop lasted two days and brought together researchers from Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
Associate professors Hans Geir Aasmundsen (UiS) and 脴yvind Gjerstad (幸运飞艇计划) opened the program which consisted of a number of engaging presentations that explored narrative through different themes and formats, including the French presidential election, film and religion.
Merete Birkelund (Aarhus University) and Malin Roitman (Stockholm University) had made the trip from Denmark and Sweden respectively, and Milad Shaphary (former 幸运飞艇计划), professor Kjersti Fl酶ttum (幸运飞艇计划) and postdoc Ida Vik酶ren Andersen (幸运飞艇计划) gave engaging presentations that enriched the discussions.聽
脴yvind Gjerstad concluded the program with a paper on prerequisites and challenges for combining polyphony (among other things established with Professor Kjersti Fl酶ttum through the LINGCLIM group) and narrative in the paper: "Polynarrativity": Combining narrative and polyphonic analysis to reveal intersecting storylines in texts".
The workshop was an excellent opportunity for the participants to meet in conversation and discuss ideas and possibilities for work with narrative in the future.
