narrative – Expanded Narrative Network

Interview with Oliver Schneider

In this interview Oliver Schneider describes his research and approaches to interactive storytelling, with particular reference to its uses within higher education as a method for learning and teaching across subject areas.

Expanded narrative is a new field of experimental narrative practices that are not represented by single subjects or by categories such as ‘interactive’. Fiction or nonfiction works that present a challenge to their particular category or genre, in terms of structure, style of writing or audience engagement, may be described as expanded narratives.

This is the home of the Expanded Narrative Research Network. The network is concerned with exploring the multidisciplinary field of narrative practices that reconfigure the form and expand the experience of storytelling.

This site offers news, reviews, resources and and a space for exchange of ideas with practitioners, educators and researchers, concerned with pervasive games, interactive, locative and transmedia narrative and storytelling.
