Answer to Question 1

Scholars in modern times have also studied narrative forms, with most of the
focus devoted to literature, film, and drama. Narratology, as this new interdisciplinary
field was called in the 1980s, is a study of how stories work, how we make sense of the
raw materials of a narrative, how we fit them together to form a coherent whole. It is also the study of different narrative structures, storytelling strategies, aesthetic conventions,
types of stories (genres), and their symbolic implications.

Answer to Question 2

As Aristotle noted in The Poetics, genres are qualitatively neutral: The
conventions of classical tragedy are basically the same whether they're used by a genius
or a forgotten hack. Certain genres enjoy more cultural prestige because they have
attracted the most gifted artists. Genres that haven't are widely regarded as innately
inartistic, but in many cases, their dclass status is due to neglect rather than intrinsic
hopelessness
