ABSTRACT
As claimed by Roland Barthes, one of the founding fathers of modern nar- ratology, stories are universal and can be told in all media:
There are countless forms of narrative in the world. First of all, there is a prodigious variety of genres, each of which branches out into a variety of media, as if all substances could be relied upon to accommodate man’s stories. […] Moreover, in this infinite variety of forms, it is present at all times, in all places, in all societies […] there is not, there has never been anywhere, any people without narrative. (1975, 237)
