Abstract

The Narrative Paradox is a theory that describes interaction and narrative cohesion as being in tension, and asserts that the structure of a narrative is disrupted by user adaptivity, leading to possible incoherence as the system accounts for interaction. We propose an approach that may reduce this disruption. Specifically, we propose to model a narrative as a collection of threads, woven together into the final discourse as a narrative braid. By separately maintaining logical coherence within a thread and thematic coherence between threads we believe it is possible to introduce interactivity while maintaining a strong narrative structure. We discuss how this may be applied to adaptive documentaries which, with a wide base of recorded material and diverse plot threads, provide a rich medium for initial experimentation in this area.
叙事编织:一种处理适应性纪录片叙事悖论的模式
叙事悖论是一种将互动和叙事凝聚力描述为紧张关系的理论,并断言叙事结构被用户适应性所破坏,导致系统在解释互动时可能出现不连贯。我们提出了一种可能减少这种干扰的方法。具体来说,我们建议将叙事建模为一组线索,作为叙事辫子编织在一起,进入最后的话语。通过分别保持线程内的逻辑一致性和线程间的主题一致性,我们相信在保持强大叙事结构的同时引入交互性是可能的。我们将讨论如何将其应用于适应性纪录片,这些纪录片具有广泛的记录材料基础和多样化的情节线索,为该领域的初始实验提供了丰富的媒介。
