This document summarizes several narrative theories proposed by different theorists:
1) Tzvetan Todorov analyzed plots and found most narratives follow a structure of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium by an outside force, and a return to equilibrium.
2) Vladimir Propp analyzed over 100 narratives and proposed they can be classified by character roles and functions such as hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, and princess.
3) Claude Levi-Strauss studied myths and found they reflect cultural values through binary oppositions between corresponding scenes, characters, or items.
4) Roland Barthes suggested narratives work through five codes - action, enigma, semic, symbolic, and cultural - that activate the reader's interpretation.
This lecture breaks down the idea of narrative into 4 sections, looking at plot, setting, themes and charaters. It has a focus on Aristotals poetics.

Narrative theorists consist of three different theorists and what they believe. This was done for A2 blogging as coursework. Hopefully this is as helpful as other slideshares.

The principle of constructive mathematizability of any theory: A sketch of fo...Vasil Penchev
A principle, according to which any scientific theory can be mathematized, is investigated. That theory is presupposed to be a consistent text, which can be exhaustedly represented by a certain mathematical structure constructively. In thus used, the term “theory” includes all hypotheses as yet unconfirmed as already rejected. The investigation of the sketch of a possible proof of the principle demonstrates that it should be accepted rather a metamathematical axiom about the relation of mathematics and reality.
Its investigation needs philosophical means. Husserl’s phenomenology is what is used, and then the conception of “bracketing reality” is modelled to generalize Peano arithmetic in its relation to set theory in the foundation of mathematics. The obtained model is equivalent to the generalization of Peano arithmetic by means of replacing the axiom of induction with that of transfinite induction.
Accepting or rejecting the principle, two kinds of mathematics appear differing from each other by its relation to reality. Accepting the principle, mathematics has to include reality within itself in a kind of Pythagoreanism. These two kinds are called in paper correspondingly Hilbert mathematics and Gödel mathematics. The sketch of the proof of the principle demonstrates that the generalization of Peano arithmetic as above can be interpreted as a model of Hilbert mathematics into Gödel mathematics therefore showing that the former is not less consistent than the latter, and the principle is an independent axiom.
An information interpretation of Hilbert mathematics is involved. It is a kind of ontology of information. Thus the problem which of the two mathematics is more relevant to our being (rather than reality for reality is external only to Gödel mathematics) is discussed. An information interpretation of the Schrödinger equation is involved to illustrate the above problem.
Ontological and historical responsibility. The condition of possibilityVasil Penchev
The main thesis is:
Ontological and historical responsibility refers to the choice of reality. Thus one should suppose many realities, each of which its own and unique histories, and correspondingly as many histories as realities. However, history as science recognise only a single history and a single reality, which can be well-defined only to the past, but not to future and even not to the present
This PowerPoint is part of my A2 Media Studies coursework. It briefly explains narrative theory, before going on to talk about different narrative theorists, and how their theories are relevant to my work.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. NARRATIVE THEORIES
A narrative is a sort of retelling of a story and how it is told. There are several
theories from different people of how a narrative can be laid out.
2. TZVETAN TODEROV
• Toderov is a Bulgarian literary theorist who
looked at different plots from a range of
narratives and found there was generally
one main template. He stated that most
narratives begin with a state of equilibrium
in which everything is ‘normal’ and there
are no major problems.
• The state of normality is disrupted by an
outside force, which has to be fought
against by the protagonist. This is called
the disequilibrium.
• The protagonist then overcomes the
disruption and the narrative returns to a
state of equilibrium
1.) A state of equilibrium
2.) Disruption of equilibrium by some action
3.) Recognition of interruption
4.)Attempt to repair disruption
5.) return of equilibrium.
This type of narrative structure is very familiar
to us and can be applied to many
‘mainstream’ film narratives
3. VLADIMIR
PROPP
• Propp was a Russian media critic and literary
theorist who, in the 1920’s, analysed over
100 narratives. He proposed that it was
possible to classify the characters and their
actions into clearly defined roles and
functions. Star Wars was an example that
perfectly fit his theory but there were some
films that clearly did not. Never the less the
model is still useful as it highlights the
similarities between varied stories.
• His general theory was that there are
problems between the hero and villain of
which the villain is overcome and state of
order is settled.
• The hero- Seeks something.
• The villain- Opposes the hero and attempts to stop
them.
• The donor- Helps the hero by providing a magic
object.
• The dispatcher- Tells the hero about the quest and
sends them on their way.
• The helper- Provides support to the hero.
• The princess- The hero’s reward after the deed is
done.
4. CLAUDE LEVI-STRAUS
• He is a social anthropologist who
studied myths of tribal cultures. From
his research he found that stories,
uncontrollably, reflect the values and
beliefs of a culture.
• These are usually expressed in the
form of binary oppositions.
• His research has been adapted by
media theorists to explain the themes
and symbolic oppositions in media
texts
• Binary Oppositions- Where two
scenes, characters or items correspond
each other usually to represent
something about the scene.
5. ROLAND BARTHES
• He is a French sociologists who
suggested that narrative works with five
different codes which activate the
reader to make sense of it.
• Action- a narrative device by which a
resolution is produced through action.
• Enigma – a narrative device that teases the
audience by presenting a puzzle or riddle to
be solved.
• Semic- Denotation.
• Symbolic- Connotation.
• Cultural – a narrative device which the
audience can recognise as being part of a
culture.
• Barthes also used the terms denotation
and connotation to describe what the
audiences sees from the text (denotes)
and what they infer from the text
(connotes).
