Narrative Minds and Virtual Worlds

This international and interdisciplinary conference discusses and tests narratological theories of world and mind construction in different media, ranging from literature to digital games, classroom interaction to corporate communication.

This conference is inspired by interdisciplinary and transmedial studies of narrative as pursued by our keynote speakers, Marie-Laure Ryan and Jarmila Mildorf.

The conference is free and open for all, and it is organized by the University of Tampere School of Language, Translation and Literary Studies, School of Social Sciences and Humanities and School of Information Sciences.
