Summary:"These analyses are devoted to the innovative transmedial narratological concept of 'perturbatory narration' concerning intentionally disturbing effects such as surprise, confusion, doubt or disappointment. For this heuristic concept, applicable to a specific type of complex narratives, narratology has not yet found an appropriate classification. The new model enables to typifie moments of disruption like deception, paradox and empuzzlement"--
