Narratological models of narrative framing and embedding have mostly been established through the study of novelistic print literature from the Modern West. Challenging the narratological focus on novelistic print literature and an exclusive focus on Western literary traditions, the curated collection 'Framing Narratives' aims to discuss and establish alternative, comprehensive concepts of narrative framing from various cultural and historical perspectives. The primary questions that inspire our collaboration are how to articulate and how to define the narrative and textual boundaries of and within works.
