Posted on 30 June 2014

NarCS members presented two panels on Narrative and Complexity at the 2014 Narrative Matters conference in Paris, between 23rd and 27th June.

The 2014 Narrative Matters conference took place at the University of Paris Diderot between 23rd and 27th June, with the theme "Narrative knowing/Récit et savoir." ICNS members from the NarCS group contributed two panels on narrative and complexity; the full programme is available on the Narrative Matters web page, http://www.aup.edu/news-events/lectures-conferences/narrative-matters-2014.

The Narrative and Complexity panels were proposed by Federico Pianzola, and lined up as follows:

Narrative and Complexity I
Chair: Federico Pianzola (ICI, Berlin, Germany)

"Narrative sequence and non-equilibrium thermodynamics"
John Pier (Université de Tours and CRAL, CNRS, France)

"Narrative in the face of complexity as a 'limit-of-sense' phenomenon"
Richard Walsh (University of York, UK)

"How do we look at narrative? Processing data, information and knowledge"
Federico Pianzola (ICI, Berlin, Germany)

Narrative and Complexity II
Chair: Richard Walsh (University of York, UK)

"A mistake that worked: On the narrative dynamics of knowledge and ignorance"
Marina Grishakova (University of Tartu, Estonia)

"Film form and systemic knowing"
Maria Poulaki (University of Surrey, UK)

"Collaborative sense-making complexities of Lost and Breaking Bad"
Siim Sorokin (University of Tartu, Estonia)

In the event Marina Grishakova was unable to attend for family reasons, both panels were well attended and generated good discussions. The organizers propose to publish the conference proceedings on the HAL - Open Archives portal.
