Narratology has been flourishing in recent years thanks to investigations into a broad spectrum of narratives, at the same time diversifying its theoretical and disciplinary scope as it has sought to specify the status of narrative within both society and scientific research. The diverse endeavors engendered by this situation have brought narrative to the forefront of the social and human sciences and have generated new synergies in the research environment. Emerging Vectors of Narratology brings together 27 state-of-the-art contributions by an international panel of authors that provide insight into the wealth of new developments in the field. The book consists of two sections. "Contexts" includes articles that reframe and refine such topics as the implied author, narrative causation and transmedial forms of narrative; it also investigates various historical and cultural aspects of narrative from the narratological perspective. "Openings" expands on these and other questions by addressing the narrative turn, cognitive issues, narrative complexity and metatheoretical matters. The book is intended for narratologists as well as for readers in the social and human sciences for whom narrative has become a crucial matrix of inquiry.

Los trabajos aquí reunidos abordan las intervenciones de la literatura en los procesos históricos de transición del siglo XX al siglo XXI, en el momento en que la democracia está por construir o consolidar. En el contexto actual, en el que tanto la discursividad como la representación democrática atraviesan una profunda crisis, escribir la democracia pasa a ser una tarea política, cultural y estética central. El presente libro propone un estudio comparativo inédito de la literatura en régimen democrático, desde el final de la Guerra Fría hasta las Primaveras Árabes. A través de estudios de casos que abordan la justicia literaria y la democracia en España, América latina, la India o el Maghreb, y mediante un diálogo final con cuatro novelistas españoles, esta aproximación transnacional cuestiona la pérdida de centralidad del modelo español de «transición consensual» y sus líneas de fractura recientes que revelan la emergencia de nuevas relaciones entre literatura y democracia.
