Fiction and Narrative across Media

Topics of interest include any philosophical and linguistic topics related to fiction (fictional truth/reference, imagination, pretense, fiction-making speech acts, etc) or narrative (unreliable narration, coherence, perspective, attributing mental states, etc), and with a special focus on how these categories interact with differences of modality/media (signed, spoken, written, pictorial, movies, videogames).
