What are the consequences of narrative style for the cognitive operations that comprehenders perform? Third person narratives can adopt different voices. Omniscient voice has access to the mental states of characters, while objective voice only describes how characters would appear to an observer. It’s currently unknown what cognitive consequences different voices have for people processing thi...

briefly notions relating to narrative that are particularly relevant to Strange Fish. That the creator and performers (Lloyd Newson and collaborators in the company DV8) have a narrative position is perhaps as obvious as the narrative position of the writer of this article. But there are also many other authorial and ancestral dances and sonorities that set the context. These are the dancescape...

Auditory imagery experiences (AIEs) occur when readers simulate character voices while reading. This project assessed how familiarity with voice and narrative contexts influences activation of AIEs. Participants listened to dialogs between two characters. Participants then read scripts with the characters, half that had been previously listened to and half that were new. During reading, partici...

IMs challenge a person's current framework of understanding and experiencing, generating uncertainty. When uncertainty is excessively threatening, a ...

In this paper we explore an alternative approach in which participants in a virtual world, e.g., a game, simulation or large online community improvise events. These events form the raw material for the subsequent creation of narr...

The main tenet of the HVM is the notion that hearing voices is a meaningful human experience, and in this article, we discuss the historical growth and i...

Public perceptions of the climate debate predominantly frame the key actors as climate scientists versus sceptical voices; however, it is unclear why climate scientists and sceptical voices choose to participate in this antagonistic and polarised public battle. A narrative interview approach is used to better understand the underlying rationales behind 22 climate scientists' and sceptical voice...
