It is the hypothesis of intratextuality that a text’s meaning grows not only out of the readings of its parts and its whole, but also out of readings of the relationships between the parts, and the reading of those parts as parts, and parts as relationship (interactive or reverberative): all this both formally (e.g. episodes, digression, frame, narrative, line, etc.) and substantively (e.g. in voice, theme, allusion, topos, etc.) – and teleologically.

Adjusting the dynamics of narrative interest: an experiment on Lemnos https://adynamicreader.com/an-experiment-on-lemnos/ Tue, 10 Oct 2017 11:02:24 +0000 https://adynamicreader.com/?p=1001 ‘Suspense thus essentially relates to the dynamics of ongoing action; curiosity to the dynamics of temporal deformation.’ Some thoughts on the ordering of exposition in the Argonautica's Lemnian episode and how reordering might affect a reader’s experience and interpretation of the narrative.

Answers not included.

The sample text (unsurprisingly) is taken from the Argonautica: A.R. 1.922-984, the Argonauts’ arrival at Cyzicus. Brave the island alone or call upon allies for advice - the choice, reader, is yours!
