The constitutive use of {\textquoteleft}real{\textquoteright} (or factual) artifacts in performative media (i. e. media which present embodied events, such as theater or film) provides a good example for the necessity of this distinction. Frequently these artifacts serve the purpose of a fictional discourse and certain definitions of fictionality (cf. Walton 1990) can be said to be fulfilled. However, a real-world artifact can by no means become itself fictive, but is rather used to represent a fictive entity. By focusing on representation and mediation instead, it becomes possible to compare theater with other performative media in terms of narrative representation: even though it is sense-physiologically unmediated, the functions of narrative mediation (i. e. selecting, ordering, presenting, commenting; cf. e. g. Chatman 1990) apply. The article establishes a dynamic system of representation that can be used for the analysis of all kinds of multichannel narrative media and thus rests the ongoing scholarly discussions of transmedial narrative representation on a much sounder theoretical basis. It distinguishes representation clearly from fictionality, and highlights the significance of theater in this discussion.}, keywords = {fictionality, mediation, narrative representation, performative media, transmedial narratology}, isbn = {2509-4882}, url = {https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/fns.2018.4.issue-s1/fns-2018-0030/fns-2018-0030.xml?format=INT}, author = {Horstmann, Jan} } @book {horstmann_theaternarratologie_2018, title = {Theaternarratologie, Ein erz{\"a}hltheoretisches Analyseverfahren f{\"u}r Theaterinszenierungen}, year = {2018}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, organization = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin, Boston}, abstract = {How does theater narrate?
