Those of you who teach courses in film/media studies, filmmaking,
screenwriting, as well as interactive media and fictional world-building,
may find a useful resource in the FICTIONAL WORLDS set, it's print and
digital editions. The primary subject at the heart of this project is how
empathy and compassion are scripted or structured / embedded (when they
are!) within the narrative mechanisms, which we associate with poetics,
genres, and recurrent transcultural story formulas (specific and
nonspecific for particular media).

REVIEWS
*Fictional Worlds* just received strong supportive reviews published in
three academic journals. Particularly of interest to MEA members may be a
review in *Semiotica: Journal of the International Association for Semiotic
Studies*, founded by Thomas Sebeok. *Fictional Worlds* is reviewed by the
prominent narratologist Gerald Prince (see links). A review is coming in
the next issue of the *Film & History* journal.
