Comics uses words to convey its content and meaning, while the comic image conveys the content as a narrative function to represent how language is combined with the text. This paper makes a comparison and analysis of the comics of Japan and South Korea, in terms of words and image expression, narrative techniques, and the way of communication, to study the characteristics of image narrative. The comic image of Jing ke is the other as a flow of narrative and getting rid of the current screen, to resonate with the readers. Go U-yeong's comics and Sumeragi Natsuki's set up a virtual narrative time and space through the line, surface, space and shade, to realize the reproduction of unhistorical facts and the significance of narrative with the artist's imagination. Sumeragi Natsuki's comics uses historical facts to represent exquisite narrative like still-life paintings. She focuses on the description of the objective facts of history, to seek the sensitive comic image beyond reality. The image narration of Go U-yeong's comics is a clash between his historical narrative among the subjective romantic image and the readers' awareness narrative flow that they insist inside. Therefore, he tries to keep balance. The instant image in his comics is not a reproduction of the historical real moment, but a reproduction image of the reality reconstructed by his own pursuit of narrative.

This paper examines what is the content of Gusan's urban identity, represented by the film and how the contents and aspects of this city's identity interact with the structure of the films' discourse. weaves Gunsan and Seoul into continuously reorganized cities based on an interactive relation, rather than literal ones. Seoul in which the time for a film narrative is closed is converted into the starting point for tour to Gunsan. The both points in which audiences' ex post return occurs are the starting point for the time for the film discourse and the other point in which the title is suggested. The journey-type of the narrative structure in this film is a3-dimensional spiral-shaped, rather than a 2-dimensional circular regression. embodies the characteristics and the identity and apriority of two cities, based on such a spiral-shaped temporal and spatial structure. Seoul severs the relation between grand narrative/collective memory and small narrative/individual memory as an agnostic one, in other words, it is a city that cuts off cities, relations and memory and rejects the continuity of memory. On the other hand, Gunsan is a city in which both grand and small narrative and collective and individual memory coexist and both split and isolated mind are cured and mutually consoled. It describes Gunsan as the surplus space as a being for others, while expressing its identity as robust and literal thing. The film describes it as the field in which oppositional concepts such as historical interruption and continuity and spatial being for others and originality become 3-dimensional spiral ones, through the reciprocity between the narrative and the discourse structure. This paper has an implication, in that it examines how temporal and spatial relationship constituting the urban identity interacts with the structure of the film narrative.

This article attempts to suggest a frame of game genres by appling the concept of narrative. The narrative is traditional and useful concept in game study, though the narrative of computer games is under discussion. In the main discourse, syntagmatic/paradigmatic character of narrative and the rate of importance of narrative in the game are used for two axis to set the location of computer game genres. As a result, I could find the location of computer game genres that reflects the characters of narrative.

The transformation of plots using the archetypical narratives is not just a repetition of the past story, but finding a new suitable meaning for present time and society. Due to this, the story can be variated depending on what the transformation has the main point for. Disney's animation overcomes the narrative feature of the past classic fairy tale that worked only for particular age and people, and recognized as a contemporary story that can give impression to more various people. This study use Vladimir Propp's Morphology of the Folktale, Carl Gustav Jung's complexes and shadow theory to examine how this animation is modernly recreated by transforming the archetypical narrative. As a result, we can find characteristics of structure and function for contemporary story, and those also work with characters in the recreated animation. Through this study we discovered that Disney's animation is a transfiguration of archetypical narrative through the exhaustive analysis, and this could be the helpful research for the future creation of animation which uses the archetypical narratives.

본 연구는 기존 RPG에서 주요한 재미 요소로 기능하던 성장 모티프가 MMORPG(Massive Multi-user Online Role Palying Game)에서 어떤 식으로 변형되어 나타나는 지 살펴본다. 성장과 역할 수행을 통해 재미를 얻는 게임인 MMORPG는 성장 서사에서 많이 나타나는 구조인 여정형 혹은 탐색형의 구조를 보편적으로 차용하고 있다. 그러나 기존 서사물에서 성장 모티프가 정체성 찾기와 같은 내면적인 변화를 나타내기 위해 구조를 차용하는 반면, 게임에서는 위의 구조를 통해 얻은 성장의 결과물을 수치의 증가나 외적 형태의 변화를 통해 나타낸다. 즉, 경험치나 아이템을 통해 성장이 수치화되어 나타나는 것이다. 이는 여정형 탐색담이라는 성장 서사의 보편적 구조에서 게임적인 특수성이 더해진 것이라 할 수 있다. 성장 소설만의 서사적 유형이란 바로 주인공의 변화 양상이 미숙에서 성숙으로, 불완전에서 완전으로, 결핍에서 충족으로 변화하는 과정을 담고 있는 이야기적 특질을 의미한다. 그러한 미숙하고 불완전한 존재가 변화하게 되는 계기와 과정, 그리고 그 결과로 구조화된 유형적 특질을 갖고 있는 소설 양식이 성장소설이라 할 수 있는 것이다. 이러한 구조화된 유형적 특질은 신화나 민담에서는 탐색담이나 여행담으로 나타난다. 게임에서의 성장은 캐릭터의 성장과 직결된다. 본격적으로 플레이어와 동일시되어 성장을 대리 경험적으로 체험하는 것은 D&D 온라인을 거쳐, 현재 MMORPG의 형태를 구현해낸 울티마 온라인이 이후부터이다. 세부적으로 구현된 세계와 온라인을 통해 생성된 방대한 네트워크 안에서 플레이어는 자신과 동일화된 캐릭터를 플레이하면서 대리경험을 하게 된다. 즉, 플레이어가 캐릭터의 성장에 작용하는 여러 가지 변수를 선택하고, 조작해가면서 자신만의 캐릭터를 생성해 나가면서, MMORPG가 구현하는 게임 세계에 구성원이자 일원이 되는 것이다. MORPG는 기존의 RPG의 선형적인 성장에 비해 복합적인 양상을 보여준다. 문화에서의 성장 서사에서 일반적으로 발견되는 여정형의 탐색담은 개발자 서사인 배경 스토리에서 나타나며, 레벨시스템과 이에 따른 공간의 배치에 따라 플레이어에게 직접적인 영향'을 끼친다. 영속적인 세계와 플레이어 간의 상호작용을 통해 일어나는 사용자 서사는 완결된 형태의 캐릭터를 무의미하게 만든다. 플레이어는 비선형적인 성장을 끊임없이 계속하게 되는 것이다.

The graphic novel is seemed different from comics in two aspects, visual expression and narrative value. However, they are ambiguous standards, so it needs to research each works of graphic novel deeper. Then this paper studied both of visual expression and narrative in Craig Thompson's "Habibi" that has been recognized a fine graphic novel. As the research about how the modes of expression that an American author choose on purpose to represent an arab female are related with narrative, it will get the point of narrative strategy that graphic novel can have potentially. So It studied new modes of expression as focusing on imagination of arab letters and woman growth-narrative by using Gayle Rubin's 'traffic in women' theory, and how it was related with modes of expression in graphic novel. This paper will be helpful for broadening spectrum of expression in graphic novel as comics media having own narrative form and studying graphic narrative potential.

Narrative runs through the entire human life. 'Narrative' is a means of understanding and experiencing human life. The past, the present and the future are not disconnected. The past is open to the future. The future defines the meaning of the past, and the past rreturn as the horizon of life. Past, present and future temporality functions as a Narrative. Records reproduce the past time as Narrative, and recount the past according to reading behavior. Reality and records complement each other with a cyclic and dialectic structure. This paper examines the relationship between reality and records. This paper applies Paul Ricoeur's Hermeneutics to records as a tool to examine the relationship between reality and record. We want to look at how records interpret and relates to reality, and how social justice of collective memory should be should be achieved against them.

In archival science studies, personal archives is a relatively unexplored field. In particular, it is difficult to find a way for ordinary individuals to organize an archive for themselves. This study suggests how individuals organize archives for themselves and suggests life memory composition as a way to utilize them. For the structure and metadata design of life-time narratives archives, this study refers to Narratologie studies and memory studies of psychology, which are combined with the concept of hierarchy and collectivity of archives. In addition, the plot concept of the narrative was proposed to form a life narrative, which was used as a tool to construct one's own life narrative. Research into the composition and utilization of these life-time narrative archives may be helpful when individuals want to create archives for themselves in the future.

This paper analyzed the narrative construction of ‘World of Warcraft’ which is very popular worldwide. Narratology and ludology should be interrelated in the larger area of art, rather than existing as separate fields. Dramatic narrative constructions of game would be made when the rules of game emerge with the circumstances of play. This paper reviews how 'World of Warcraft' generates its tremendous popularity through analyzing the overall narratives of 'World of Warcraft' and sub-narratives such as quest, PvP and hunting systems. The distinctive feature of this game is its well-designed story flow which is emerged by both underlying linear original story and non-linear multi-scenario that offers rich interactivities to the game users.
