With his pragmatic tendency,Stefan Iversen initially defines"unnatural narrative"with reference to the unexplainable clash between scenarios or events and the rules governing a storyworld in a specific text.However,he regards"the unnatural"as a rhetorical device rather than a specific genre,which enlarges the scope of the concept and thus poses the risk of diluting or even eliminating the unnatural.Iversen opposes Jan Alber's interpretation of strategies as a naturalisation of unnatural narrative and stresses that unnatural narratives are"permanent defamiliarisation".In putting forward the notions of"demediated experientiality"and"unmediated experientiality",Iversen also criticises Monika Fludernik's views on experientiality and narrative,with her advocacy of natural narratology.In addition,he points out some of the limitations of the cognitive narratological framework with regard to unnatural minds.
