Post-structuralist narrative theory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Post-structuralist narrative theory basically attempts to focus on the essential 'incompleteness' of narratives. This approach endorses the possibility of having indetermined, forever continued reader-centred narratives. Having roots in Jacques Derrida's Structure, Sign, Play in the Discourse of Human Sciences, this reading of narrative gets strengthened through the writings of Roland Barthes, Mikhail Bakhtin and Wolfgang Iser's theoretical interpretation of narratives.
