Questions:

-Do the symbols with in the narative effect the understanding of the peice over time?

-How does multipul versions effect the understanding of one narrative?

-Do narrative works aim to expose the underbelly of human nature or is it by direct correlation from the viewers point of view that the act or acting allows them to see themselevs within the characters?


Pastiche- imitation, appropriation, spoofs.
This word really summed it up for me, both chapters Art & Narrative and Art & Representation. Artists are using their understanding of how to change and alter reality to best fit their perspective. They augment the characters of stories, or change the slightest detail to help postulate a greater interest or meaning. Why not make something more visually interesting to look at? But are we as the viewer really reading the context correctly or does the story inevitably change from moment to moment?
