Does anyone know of any materials out there who deal with the possible
applications of narrative theory, used mainly with regards to literary
studies, in the domain of film studies as an alternative? I have learnt of
at least 3 models, the mimetic(that narrative imitates reality), the
commentary/inflective/reflective(that narrative comments on reality while
presenting it partially), and also, the parodic(that narrative inverts
reality and seeks to challenge it often). Of course, this hardly does
justice to narrative theory, but I am seeking to use narrative theory and
its limits to study some resurgent genres of film in South Korean cinema,
especially the high school horror flick genre/action genre for one case. The
films involve naturally the three films of "Whispering Corridors" series,
including the current 3rd instalment of "Wishing Stairs".
