Narrative Mapping

Abstract

In the present article, Stephen Mamber presents purposes, types and examples of narrative mapping, a tool that helps to understand complex narratives in space and time, either films, news, novels or schedules in a train station. Narrative mappings can be as complex and theme-centered, like a territorial map, so they become the true interface to access the text. Since narrative is everywhere, Mamber asks if there is a limit to the possibilities of mapping our surroundings.
