"The basic problem of the narrative is that fact that the narrative as phenomenon can not be viewed independently, an sich, but only through another medium like oral storytelling, novels, and movies. The classical argument for the existence of the narrative is the fact that a story can be translated from one medium to another:" -     Jesper Juul
