Abstract
Devouring Story and Situation many years ago as an eager young lecturer at University of Warwick preparing to teach a narrative course, I was fascinated by Chambers's approach to point of storytelling, through attending to transactional, literary, and ultimately philosophical contextualization and analysis. [...]Ross had been instrumental in my decision to accept a position at University of Technology Sydney, enthusiastically describing both academic and urban landscape I would call home for eight years, when I mentioned that I was considering offer after a lecture he gave at University of Bristol, a lecture I still remember well for his thoughtful exploration of La Haine as a meditation on lived cityscapes. More than this, question he asks (and fact that he does so in her memory) is key to unlocking narrative's hard-hitting points about value of art in making connections, opening up perspectives, making our lives meaningful for ourselves and each other, even across generations and in ways that confront our mortality, particularly so in pre-post-Brexit world characterized, for Smith, as the end of dialogue.
