“…But we still maintain the importance that this methodological framework can have for theory building, especially as it applies to constructions of reliability and credibility. Although social scientific and legal methods call for reliability as the root of legitimate process, affective method that calls for positionality could complicate our understandings of what unreliability even is, especially as it pertains to the call for "objective" research that follows legitimate "process" (Nünning 2015;Ballakrishnen, forthcoming).…”

This review essay looks at the relationship between Deborah Tuerkheimer’s Credible (2021) and Meera Deo’s Unequal Profession (2019) in order to make a substantive point about inequality in legal institutions and the methods that are employed in dissecting them. At first glance, the connections between these projects might not seem apparent, although each deals with the inequalities in which its actors in focus are embedded. But both projects go deeper by unveiling institutional inequities that are often in plain sight when we investigate the background frameworks implicated in their production, and they reveal the problematic relationship between everyday discrimination and the systemic biases that justify them. Finally, reading these books together allows us to make an intervention about the methods and credibility of narratives within socio-legal scholarship more generally. In theorizing about legitimacy, we ask how the way in which we are told to look at structures of normativity changes the kinds of inequities we are able to see.

“…Da un lato, si diceva, la Rivoluzione francese che mostra un 10 Riassumendo, inattendibile è la voce che, all'atto del racconto, non può o non vuole fornire una versione genuina degli eventi. La formula, introdotta da Wayne Booth nel 1961, ha articolato una sorta di campo di studi a sé stante: per una prospettiva aggiornata Nünning (2015). 11 L'unico personaggio di Il secolo dei lumi che si presta davvero a un confronto solido con Mandralisca è Esteban, e per questo si dovrebbe prendere con rinnovata cautela l'assonanza, proposta da Valentini (2020: 5-7), fra Pirajno e Hugues.…”

L’articolo si propone di analizzare criticamente l’influenza di Il secolo dei lumi (Alejo Carpentier, 1962), nella traduzione di Maria Vasta Dazzi del 1964, su Il sorriso dell’ignoto marinaio (Vincenzo Consolo, 1976), entrambi romanzi storici. Fornendo spunti tematici e strumenti filologici, il suo obiettivo è approfondire questo legame controverso, oggetto di dibattito tra gli studiosi di Consolo.

“…Although it has been most frequently addressed with reference to literary works, it "can be found in a wide range of narratives across the genres, the media, and different disciplines" (Nünning, 2005: 90, cf. the contributions in Nünning, 2015). The concept of narrative unreliability is credited to Booth (1983Booth ( [1961, see Olson, 2003;Shen, 2011), who conceived it as a rather eclectic construct.…”

When Both Utterances and Appearances are Deceptive: Deception in Multimodal Film Narrative

This article gives a comprehensive theoretical account of deception in multimodal film narrative in the light of the pragmatics of film discourse, the cognitive philosophy of film, multimodal analysis, studies of fictional narrative and – last but not least – the philosophy of lying and deception. Critically addressing the extant literature, a range or pertinent notions and issues are examined: multimodality, film narration and the status of the cinematic narrator, the pragmatics of film construction (notably, the characters’ communicative level and the one of the collective sender and the recipient), the fictional world and its truth, the recipient’s film engagement and make believing, as well as narrative unreliability. Previous accounts of deceptive films are revisited and three main types of film deception are proposed with regard to the two levels of communication on which it materialises, the characters’ level and the recipient’s level, as well as the intradiegetic and/or the extradiegetic narrator involved. This discussion is illustrated with multimodally transcribed examples of deception extracted from the American television series House. In the course of the analysis, attention is paid to how specific types of deception detailed in the philosophy of language (notably, lies, deceptive implicature, withholding information, covert ambiguity, and covert irrelevance) are deployed through multimodal means in the three types of film deception (extradiegetic deception, intradiegetic deception, and a combination of both when performed by both cinematic and intradiegetic narrators). Finally, inspired by the discussion of Hitchcock’s controversial lying flashback scene in Stage Fright, as well as films relying on tacit intradiegetic, unreliable narrators (focalising characters) an attempt is made to answer the thorny question of when the extradiegetic (cinematic) narrator can perform lies (through mendacious multimodal assertions) addressed by the collective sender to the recipient, and not just only other forms of deception, as is commonly maintained.
