Abstract
In this paper, the author presents a new research area called “narratology of narrative generation” that covers humanities, such as narratology, information sciences, including artificial intelligence and cognitive science, and social sciences, such as economics. The narratology of narrative generation is also called “post-narratology” in the sense that it shows various possibilities or a vision of a novel narratology using narrative generation machines. The first and second sections show the importance of narrative generation and discusses approaches to the narratology of narrative generation or post-narratology by dividing into several themes, including narrative genres and the necessity of cultural narratology. The third section provides a part of the recent narrative generation studies. In the fourth section, the author overviews a basic framework for showing narrative communication structures and discusses the correspondence relations between various elements in a narrative generation process and the implementation methods, theories and techniques based on artificial intelligence and cognitive science.
