Inspired by recent developments in focalization theory and transmedial narratology, the essay emphasizes the importance of medium-specific features in graphic storytelling and perspective-taking and ponders the narratological problems that these features create. These questions include the fundamental distinctions between 'who speaks' and 'who sees,' between the source and the degree of focalization and the entity focalized, and between personal and impersonal vantage points.
This essay discusses three premises of focalization theory and narrative perspective that bear particular relevance to the question of narrative mediation in visual storytelling, specifically in regard to graphic narratives.
