The Laboratory of Narrative Research (LNR) is a teaching and research unit that is part of the School of English at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. It has been designed to bring together scholars and researchers from across the humanities, the social sciences and other scientific fields who have a special interest in the workings and the politics of narrative production.

Can a novel create meaning using a chorus of disparate voices and narrative styles? What happens when plot lines intersect, and conventional linear reading patterns are disrupted? What is the relationship among author, reader and characters? Is there a dialogic space?
This is a three-hour seminar on multifaceted and multi-voiced stories, on the narrative told and untold. We will explore examples in which voice, form and content act on a fluvial continuum while celebrating interactivity and the building of coherent narrative out of fragments. We will attempt to experience new ways of seeing, play with voices, embrace contradiction, go beyond the author’s style and persona, and negotiate our narrative self in today’s world.
