WESTERN & Non-Western Narrative Traditions

  • Non-Western (non-Aristotelian)  storytelling -less conflict, more fractal patterns, episodic
  • Modern, Avant-garde, Experimental -surrealist, irrational, fragmented, broken causal/chains, dissonance, abstraction, chance
  • Post-Modern  -metafiction, collage, remix, stories within stories

Kishōtenketsu –  Japanese story form (from China)

Ki :  the introduction: setting, characters, situation, relationships
Shō : further development, following the introduction. no big changes
Ten : a pivot or twist to another, topic, character, situation, setting. this can be jarring, but doesn’t have to be
Ketsu: ending, it wraps up the story by uniting the first two parts with the third, the twist, making the parts a whole.

Experimental narrative: dada, surrealism, improvisational, anti-narrative
