About narrativity: Interview with Lorenzo Menoud by Nikoleta Kerinska, 2021

Abstract

In this interview, Lorenzo Menoud offers us a stimulating reflection on narrativity. According to him, narrativity is not a concept that would be unmistakably defined by certain essential properties, but rather a term of which we all have an idea, more or less precise and more or less variable. Thus, narrativity is constituted in a conceptual network at the crossroads of several issues, including: what is considered a narrative and why? what relationship does narrativity have with fiction and art? for what reasons do we tell stories? Lorenzo Menoud develops his ideas, providing an essential theoretical framework for understanding the issues of narrative and narrativity, not only in art but in a more general perspective.
