The New Review of Film and Television Studies promotes current research in the humanities that makes a central contribution to film and television studies. The journal publishes research dedicated to clearly formulated, reliable methods of analysis, well posed questions examining resolvable problems, and focused deliberation on those problems. Essays on film theory (of all varieties), film narratology, and contemporary filmmaking practices are particularly welcome. The journal is driven by the belief that intellectually rigorous research in the humanities is both possible and necessary. In-depth stand-alone essays or extracts from major research projects in progress are particularly welcome.
Please note: the journal does not accept papers written from a social science perspective.
Free Article: Complex Narratives by Jan Simons
This paper brings together narratology, game theory, and complexity theory to untangle the intricate nature of complex narratives in contemporary cinema. It interrogates the different terms - forking-path narratives, mind-game films, modular narratives, multiple-draft films, database narratives, puzzle films, subjective stories, and network narratives - used in current film theory to discuss complex narratives.
