Lecture by Madita Knöpfle: Rethinking narrative theory by considering the historical situatedness of storytelling

We invite you to a lecture by Madita Knöpfle from the University of Zurich titled Rethinking narrative theory by considering the historical situatedness of storytelling. The lecture will take place on Thursday, October 16 at 16:00 in room 2.21, as part of the course Approaches to Old Norse Literature. The event is supported by the Strategic Partnerships Fund.

Madita Knöpfle is a Post-Doc researcher at the University of Zurich. Her research focuses on pre-modern Icelandic prose literature, with a particular emphasis on materiality and narratology. Her talk introduces a narrative theory that is both historically, culturally, and materially informed and illustrates its interpretive potential with examples from Icelandic literature ranging from the Middle Ages to modern times.
