Abstract

The article initially defines narrativity with Aristotle's poetics as its primary reference. Then follows a brief sketch of how narrative organization of texts developed from Ancient Greek tragedy through the crisis of realistic novel writing at the beginning of this century. The main part of the article is a survey of narratological research beginning with the concepts of 'fabula' and 'sjuzet' in Russian Formalism. The narratological theories of structuralism are discussed with a special attention given to Levi-Strauss' analysis of the Oedipus myth. The last part of the article deals with the so-called »narrativist turn« in American theoretical thought in the 80es. The conclusion suggests that non-literary fields ought to consider not only the mostly »metanarrative« ideas from after »the narrativist turn«, but also earlier, more analytically
oriented works in the narratological tradition.
