Topic: Fabula


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Style: Fabula and fictionality in narrative theory
The distinction between fabula and sujet is, according to various commonsensical definitions, the distinction between what happens in a narrative and how it is told; narrative theory, however, has struggled to reconcile common sense with conceptual rigor.
Fabula must be in some sense storied: it can't be understood as simply the world of the story, whether actual or fictional, because that would strip it of any specific relevance to narrative.
From the Structuralist perspective, some such distinction as that between fabula and sujet was fundamental to narrative theory--was in fact definitional of narrative insofar as it could be understood as both a coherent discursive category and a structure capable of ar ticulation in different media.

 Rune Grammofon
This is their debut album but the trio´s collective background in rock, dub and electronica has been an invaluable apprenticeship, as Skyphone combine these elements into a confident and convincingly distinctive hybrid.
Fabula offers up diffident melodies conjured from acoustic guitars and analogue synths, crisply fluctuating digital percussion, feathery skeins of sampled texture and a wonderfully, almost fairytale sense of immersion.
At moments ”Fabula” is a bit sentimental, like a hard rock band who build an acoustic number as on "Airtight Golem" to come up for air from the heavy haze and daze of adrenaline.

 ITÉ - Fabula   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Fabula is a two-year project in which partners in Ireland and other European countries are working together to develop an easy to use multimedia software kit for schools.
As children read the 'pages' of these storybooks, using the specially developed Fabula viewer software, they will be able to exploit the unique opportunities provided by a multimedia environment to interact with the texts and pictures, in particular exploring the equivalences and differences between their two languages.
The main aim of Fabula's work, in the early stages at least, is to promote literacy in five of what are known variously as the 'lesser used languages' or the 'older mother tongue languages' of the European community.

 Fabula
A second Fabula project meeting was held in Dublin in March 1999, and again consisted mainly of two workshops.
Mozilla seemed ideal for the Fabula project, as it was free, cross-platform, based on C++ (and therefore reasonably fast), supported XML technologies, and offered the basis for both the editing and viewing functionality required.
The CSS was chosen for the Fabula project.

 Short Cuts, Narrative Film and Hypertext
Ideally, the fabula can be embodied in a verbal synopsis, as general or as detailed as circumstances require.
Each of these principles, in narrative film, serve to connect the plot (syuzhet) with the viewer's internal perceptions of the diegetic world he or she is forming (fabula).
Fabula and syuzhet are difficult to conceive in Short Cuts, and indeed, in most of Altman's work.

 mozdev.org - fabula: technical
When Fabula was first conceived back in 1998, XML Workshop had the foresight to see that Mozilla* would be an ideal solution.
This is quite an ugly way to see fabula, but it is good for development as you can make a change to the Fabula source code and then hit refresh in the main Mozilla toolbar to see the changes (make sure you have "Disabled XUL-Cache" in the Mozilla debug options).
The XUL files are used to describe the layout of Fabula (and all of Mozilla).

 fabula   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
A term belonging to the study of prose, fabula designates the raw material which will be processed to become a narrative.
The story is the purely chronological series of events, which will be recounted, in the order in which they took place, which is not necessarily the order of the narration.
The fabula will be organised into siuzhet to become a narrative.

 On RPGs and Text [LONG]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
One is the construction of the fabula in mechanical terms (the die-rolling, the decision-making of arbitration, and so on) as well as the special social performances that are part of any human interaction (body language, eating and drinking, etc.).
In reciting the fabula after the fact, we make an automatic distinction between these two layers quite automatically, in most cases: we retell the fabula and try to pick up as much of the affective dimension of syuzhet as possible, but we usually drop as much of the first layer as possible.
Fabula is just the "what actually happened" at the core, the purest "narrative" without any purpose or meaning at all.

 BBC - Experimental Review - Skyphone, Fabula
Instead, hearing Fabula may induce a feeling of relaxation, a desire to sit back and dream.
Elements of delicate intrigue and a generous spaciousness tempt the listener to return to their recumbent state again and again.
Fabula is endearing because it communicates an understated feeling of being at peace with itself without inducing somnambulence.

Dave Boswell writes, "After mozdev was down over the weekend while we moved the server, the site is back up with some big updates to the Fabula pages.
If anyone is interested in working on the development of Fabula, or taking over the Fabula pages on mozdev.org, there is a contact page with information on who to contact."
Fabula sounds very noble-minded, and I'll be delighted once Mozilla supports the national languages of my country and its neighbours, which are in much more daily use than (for example) Welsh.
