[ecrea] New book - Stories: Screen Narrative in the Digital Era

New book /Stories: Screen Narrative in the Digital Era (Eds. Ian 
Christie and Annie van den Oever)/, part of Amsterdam University Press' 
The Key Debates (Mutations and Appropriations in European Film Studies) 
series.

Stories are perceived as central to modern life. Not only in narrative 
entertainment media, such as television, cinema, theatre, but also in 
social media. Telling/having ‘a story’ is widely deemed essential, in 
business as well as in social life. Does this mark an intensification of 
what has always been part of human cultures; or has the realm of ‘story’ 
expanded to dominate twenty-first century discourse? Addressing stories 
is an obvious priority for the Key Debates series, and Volume 7, edited 
by Ian Christie and Annie van den Oever, identifies new phenomena in 
this field - complex narration, puzzle films, transmedia storytelling – 
as well as new approaches to understanding these, within narratology and 
bio-cultural studies. Chapters on such extended television series as 
/Twin Peaks/, /Game of Thrones/and /Dickensian/ explore distinctively 
new forms of screen storytelling in the digital age.
