BEING IN A POST-NARRATIVE WORLD

This series explores the question of how we exist by, in, or against narrative. Our wired culture seemingly demands a self--or a multi-tasked series of selves--situated simultaneously in multiple worlds. What does it mean to think about self-construction in a virtual age? What relation should narrative have to the environments and ecologies in which we understand our selves to exist? What forms have put the “post” in post-narrative? To what extent is the post-narrative self a reappearance of historical ways of being?
