ABSTRACT
In this chapter, attention is directed to how dual narrative dynamics calls for the doubling of narratological models. When a narrative contains dual dynamics, the author may adopt a particular stance in the plot development and a different stance in the covert progression; the event structure may belong to the “revelation” type in the plot development but to the contrastive “resolution” type in the covert progression, and the narrator may be unreliable in one way in the overt progression and in another way in the covert progression, among other kinds of duality. To account for and encourage the search for such duality, this chapter offers various dual narratological models such as a dual model of authorial communication, of event structure, of unreliability, of focalization, and on a higher and more general level, a dual model of story and discourse.
