abstract
| - Narrative theory, or narratology, is the study of narrative or story, written or otherwise. The founder of narrative theory is often held to be Aristotle, whose study of plot in drama gave rise to the study of narrative as an art form, known as poetics. The term also refers to a specific body of work by Walter Fisher, and what follows is a discussion of Fisher's work. Fisher's narrative theory is based on the concept that people are essentially storytellers. Storytelling is one of the oldest and most universal forms of communication and so individuals approach their social world in a narrative mode and make decisions and act within this narrative framework (Fisher 1984).
