Such a radical departure from curre

Such a radical departure from current thinking about narrative space and setting obviously has implications for other aspects of modern narrative. If embodied narrative space means that settings will always be sites of motion rather than static places with symbolic value, then narrative will always be in motion. Such motion will become the basis of narrative itself. In an earlier chapter I noted Didier Coste’s definition of narrative: “An act of communication is narrative whenever and only whenimparting a transitive view of the world is the effect of the message produced.”
