Image & Narrative

Image [&] Narrative is a peer-reviewed e-journal on visual narratology in the broadest sense of the term. Beside tackling theoretical issues, it is a platform for reviews of real life examples.

Starting from the issue on Chris Marker (Vol. 10: 3), the journal has shifted to the “Open Journals Systems” framework, whose publishing philosophy we strongly support. Previous issues of Image (&) narrative remain freely accessible in their initial form (see “Previous volumes” in the navigation space above). All other issues produced in the “Open Journals Systems” framework will be accessible in the “Archives” section of the navigation).

“Image (&) Narrative” is open to all proposals for guest-edited special issues, provided they follow the general thematic orientation as well as the general peer-reviewed policy of the journal. For all questions, please contact the journal.

Copyright for articles published in this journal is retained by the authors, with first publication rights granted to the journal. By virtue of their appearance in this open access journal, articles are free to use, with proper attribution, in educational and other non-commercial settings.
