nothing else but what happens to me, such as speaking (Beckett, The Unnamable, 360) In the contemporary field of narrative theory, which combines literary and socialscience approaches, the socio-cultural aspects of social-media storytelling have been widely discussed. However, the literary potential of social-media storytelling has gone almost unnoticed. We need research on the literary craft in social media and on its interpretation, as platforms such as Facebook or Twitter are gradually transforming our understanding of what is meant by narrative and what narrative is considered compelling (Georgakopoulou 2013: 220-21 and 2017: 36-38). From the perspective of literary narratology, the two-way traffic between conventions of literary fiction and conventions of social-media storytelling should be of key interest, but little research exists on the topic thus far. Narratologists have, for example, considered the insertion of web-based material within novels (e.g. Hallett 2014) and the borrowing of literary techniques and attempts at literary creativity in Twitterfiction (Thomas 2013 and 2016). Yet more traditionally "narratological" text-oriented questions such as the parallels between simultaneous narration in the novel and on-line social media experientiality, have received scant attention. Transmedial narratology is more interested in how storyworld franchises travel

This chapter highlights the often invisible political agendas behind lists (the “politics of the list”) and makes a case for reading lists suspiciously and symptomatically rather than “on the surface.” Based on recent work on formal approaches to literature, the list is understood as a cognitive form that elicits a range of affordances, depending on the context of use. To what extent a reading of lists in the novel can profit from such an approach is demonstrated by the example of capitalist discourse, which manifests itself through the list form in the novel from the nineteenth century to today.
