The contemporary discussion about fictionality coincides with an increase in anxiety regarding the categories of fact and fiction in popular culture and global media. Today's media-saturated historical moment and political climate give a sense of urgency to the concept of fictionality, distinct from fiction, specifically in relation to modes and media of discourse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Torsa Ghosal and Alison Gibbons explicitly interrogate the relationship of fictionality with multimodal strategies of narrative construction in the present media ecology. Contributors consider the ways narrative structures, their reception, and their theoretical frameworks in narratology are influenced and changed by media composition--particularly new media. By accounting for the relationship of multimodal composition with the ontological complexity of narrative worlds, \u003ci\u003eFictionality and Multimodal Narratives\u003c\/i\u003e fills a critical gap in contemporary narratology--the discipline that has, to date, contributed most to the conceptualization of fictionality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTorsa Ghosal\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor of English at California State University, Sacramento.
