Langauge consists of a series of signs that generate definite relationship of with each other. Narrative does so. The embodied knowledge is assigned by person who wants to express something with the relationship of cause and effect.
Bogost outlines another concept within the context. Lists is a term with non-narrative relationship. If language creates a definite relationship of the represented things, lists isolates every single things from this relationship. Lists is refusal for the connecting power of language, in favour of a sequence of disconnected elements.
“No one scribbles dmvn a helpful sonnet before going shopping. . . . Finding a list in a
book or a poem is an immediate reminder of the most obvious dif ferences between literature and every other kind of non-performing art: literature is made out of something, language, that is an everyday stuff. ”
The reason Bogost consider this kind of idea because of his observations. Although language could be vey literature, it is impossible for us to use a literature tone every second life. Lists is direct, simple, and easy understanding. People don’t take much time to comprehend the lists but literature language. Perhaps, someone has great ability to create narrative with make-sense signs. However, this is the small part compare to a big range. Non-narrative is dominant within context due to being flexible for more people than narrative tone.
