Social information narratology: the integrated unity of information ontology and narrative practice

Based on an interdisciplinary integration of Wu Kuns theory of social information and narratological theory, this paper constructs the emerging cross-disciplinary field of social information narratology. By revealing the ontological isomorphism between the three states of information (information-in-itself, information-for-itself, and regenerated information) and the three levels of narrative (story, discourse, and narration), the study demonstrates the deep-seated unity of the two theoretical systems at the levels of ontology, epistemology, and praxis. The findings indicate that the unity of three qualities of social information provides an ontological foundation for narrative practice, while the paradigmatic transformation of narratology directly responds to the historical demands of the philosophical revolution in information. Practical forms such as news narratology, Marxist philosophical narratology, and television media narratology substantiate the historical inevitability of this unity. Social information narratology not only reconstructs the theoretical framework of information communication but also reveals the essential laws governing the generative mechanism of informationsymbolmeaning, thereby offering a new theoretical horizon for cultural production and social cognition in the digital age.
