Narratives versus Antenarratives for Statistical Crises Effects Evaluation

Author: Niculae V. MIHAITA1, University Professor and Research Fellow, PhD.,The

Bucharest University of Economics, Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest

Abstract Results are given of a cybernetic modeling and Informational Statistics application that relate to

sustaining an analyses of the environmental crises in which was created the perfect narrative

love poem Evening Star or Lucifer of Eminescu, and the antenarrative of Eugène Ionesco’s

Absurd Theatre. Other results come from the American corporation Enron’s epic and tragic

narration, and the mostly critical visual aesthetics and antenarrative spectrality described by

David Boje regarding Empire Reading of Manet’s Execution of Maximilian. The love Poem is a

perfect example of Narrative as traditionally written material that takes a more linear insight to

information, whereby everyone moves sequentially through stanzas and distichs and provides a

beginning, middle content, and end reading. It was created in a period of profound crises in

Romania and the Titu Maiorescu play as antenarrative stories tell an of an infamous game. The

Theater of the Absurd was born after the World War II Crises, and it is epitomized by its father,

Eugène Ionesco, who builds perfect antenarratives. Antenarrative shifts from “What’s the story

here?” composed of introduction, story and end incidents, to questions of “Why and how did

this particular story emerge to dominate the stage?” meaning to “shift from linear, coherent

narratives to emergent behavior of nonlinear, interactive, and fragmented antenarratives”

[Boje]. Also in this paper it is shown how Informational Statistics can reveal the narratives

behind the antenarrative thereby creating of a theatrical play.Further, we discuss the Narrative

versus Antenarrative Analyses concerning the Enron financial meltdown according to the

vision of Boje. Not long before this meltdown the “Global Economic Crises” of world

finance, the case of the seventh largest American corporation ENRON was described as “a

rapid, disastrous, and uncontrolled climactic fall in share prises”. Why, do Boje and Rosile

put in the title of their article “Enron’s Epic and Tragic Narration”? As they have written

already written, it is because life imitates art and “epic theatre is not one narrator on one

stage; it is a multitude of simultaneous theatric performances, collectively negotiated by

inquiry participants (reporters, regulators, analysts), narrating while wandering in an unstable

labyrinth of networked stages”. To achieve more information and knowledge we must

interpret different narratives and antenarratives of disasters as that of the American

corporation ENRON as “we contend that epic and tragic interpretations of corporate

meltdown each have differential readings of the scope and coherence” [Boje, Rosile]. For

example, the authors’ hypothesis “that conscribed tragic narration across education, news

media, and political fronts keeps the charade in play; meanwhile, epic narrators keep

expanding inquiry to crack the façade”. Looking for new antenarratives, they gain knowledge.

Boje and Rosile write that: “The corporate world invokes the term meltdown to describe the

uncontrolled spiraling of share prices falling fast and far. The tragic narration of meltdown

seeks to assign the cause of the disaster to the classic elements of tragic drama: the tragic

hero’s flaw (which causes both success and failure), their overweening pride (hubris), and the

reversal of fortunes (changing circumstances)”. In the case study of Manet’s fictional Execution of Maximilian, we propose to look into the

World Wide Web and find narrated stories, taking advantage that the designed nature of the

web is nonlinear, so that one can jump from topic to topic, document to document, and site to

site. In the first version of the Manet work, the firing squad is dressed in rebel republican

army; in the second version the uniforms are French; a wall appears and remains from the 3rd

version; in the 4th

version sombrero appears and some saying that is a critique of Napoleon

III’s failed Mexico conquest. For this last example we use Fuzzy Sets Theory. The most salient

of fuzzy models use: (1) the intermediary value (common knowledge), and (2) the intermediary

value is not important, but the extreme ones are. It is shown that the combination with planning

statistical experiments and Informational Statistics make fuzzy membership function a new

approach for antenarrative analysis independent of initial conditions. This feature allows new

arguments to be obtained by measuring the informational gains to be discussed in art, literature

or conversation. This approach can be used to obtain either complete or generalized synoptic

ideograms. Several simulations or scenarios could be carried out to illustrate how the methods’

combination clarifies the „black box” of understanding complex processes in Art.

1. Narrative versus Antenarrative Analyse over the best Love Poem of Eminescu

Already common knowledge, narratives as traditional written materials “take a more linear

insights to information, whereby ones moves sequentially through a document meaning a

beginning, middle and end reading” [3]. We visualize in figure 1 the linear nature of a

narrative story and the chaotic quest for antenarratives. Because the Web is a wide-area

hypermedia system aimed at universal access, we illustrate narrative and antenarrative like

that:

Figure 1 Narrative Antenarrative

Contrary to classical narratives, in our modern life, exponentially, antenarratives appears on

the Web, were the individuals will not be following the same structure or pattern of finding

information in the same way.

1.1 Narrative arguments over the best Love Poem of Eminescu

The "Evening Star" ("Luceafarul") by Mihai Eminescu, a 98 stanzas (102 originally) long

poem about the impossible love between immortal Evening Star and a beautiful mortal

princess sets the world record for the Longest Love Poem.

Appears on Web that “The Legend of the Evening Star ("Luceafarul") Lucifer, is a story

about a young princess who prayed to the evening star each night. The evening star falls in

love with her and is willing to give up his immortality, but realizes that the pure love he has

for the young girl cannot be sustained in the mortal world”.

The poem can be simply described (for the today's YouTube generation...) as a combination

between "Gone with the Wind" (which is a romantic drama), "Star Trek" (because of the

Lucifer’ flight thru universe looking for Demiurge that contains science fiction entertainment)

and "Love Story" (because the world record judges said the Poem is one of the most romantic

poems and it also ends in a drama)-all together, which means it is a romantic poem but also a

third millennium modern poem.

1.2 Antenarrative arguments over the best Love Poem of Eminescu

The Poem appeared in the first poetry edition of Eminescu in December 1883, edition printed

by Titu Maiorescu, after it was published in April, the same year, in Almanac of Academic

Society “Romania Juna” from Vienna. During the years it suffered modifications, some

because of the Poet, and some because of Titu Maiorescu who is suspected by eliminating

four stanzas of Demiurge speech. The poem’s subject can be assimilated as a repeating of the

myth of the Saint Sun, a development of folklore theme of Zburatorul (Flyer man), who

shows to the emperor’s daughter, made her to fall in love with him and then disappears, or

like in genius drama, or like a love story which shows the theme of incompatibility. The Poem

is an inspiration syntheses: Romanian fairy-tail “The girl in golden garden”, picked by the

germane Richard Kunisch when it was traveling through Oltenia and published at Berlin in

1861, the motive of Zburatorul from Romanian folklore, the philosophy of Arthur

Schopenhauer about Genius problem and other mythological sources.

2. Antenarrative versus Narrative Analyse over the Absurd Theatre of the Romanian-French playwriter EUGÈNE IONESCO

2.1 Examples of antenarrative plays: The Chairs and Foursome

Referring at The Chairs (Les Chaises), the Father of the Absurd Theatre said that the subject

of the play „is not the message, nor the failures of life, nor the moral disaster of the two old

people, but the chairs themselves. That is to say, the absence of people, the absence of the

emperor, the absence of God, the absence of matter, the unreality of the world, metaphysical

emptiness. The theme of the play is nothingness" But Ionesco knew there's more to nothing

than meets the eye. So we see their unseen guests. The actors make the unreal real, and vice

versa said the father of the Absurd Theatre.

Critics said that the Eugẻne Ionesco’s The Chairs is one of the playwright’s most popular

plays. First performed in Paris on April 22, 1952, The Chairs was only the third of Ionesco’s

plays to be produced. Many stories tell that at that time, Ionesco was still a struggling

playwright.

Most critics and audiences did not know how to interpret The Chairs. In the play, an elderly

couple sets up chairs and greets invisible guests who have come to hear the Old Man’s

message to the world. The message is left in the hands of an Orator after the couple commits

116

suicide, but he is deaf-mute and cannot relay it. I think that this is the shortest abstract made

by one critic.

In the program for the original production, Ionesco writes, ‘‘As the world is incomprehensible

to me, I am waiting for someone to explain it.’’ As the idea of a theater of the absurd—a

literary form that explored the futility of human existence—evolved, The Chairs came to be

seen as a seminal example of the genre, highlighting the loneliness and futility of human

existence.

By the time the play was revived in Paris in 1956, most critics and audiences lauded Ionesco

for his unique staging and profound sense of humor. Since these early productions, The

Chairs is still regularly performed worldwide.

Instead, the theme of the play Foursome we find out using Informational Statistics and other

quantitative methods, that contrary as in The Chairs, on Foursome the actors make the

Ionesco’s concrete void, the visible invisible. We believe that they (players) lives only in

ONE ’s imagination and not feel the Grand Illusion.

The short piece Foursome (Scène à quatre), picks up the tragicomic send-up of language. Two

foilfighters of words incessantly volley "But I said yes"/"But I said no," seemingly oblivious

of their point of contention, though locked ludicrously at loggerheads. Another foilfighter of

words joins reminding them repeatedly to "mind the flowerpots," while expanding the

disagreeing duo into a brawling trio. Finally, an unsuspecting woman enters and, after

entreating the men to stop fighting, has her limbs ripped from her body by the foilfighters'

competitive solicitations. This is another remarkable example of a good resume.

2.2 The short piece, Foursome, an example of antenarrative construction

We defined the Profile of Performer's stage behaviour which consists in a number of six

states: communicating with only one player (three states), being on stage in silence,

communicating with two players, communicating with three protagonists. Informational gains

are obtained by measuring the influence of others presence or action (e.g., dialog) over the

overall Profile of Performer's stage behaviour using Information Theory and Informational

Statistics besides factorial experiments:

Table 1. Global importance of Foursome’ s performers

Pretty Lady 0,660 46 30,360 16%

Sum x x 187,004 100%

117

Narrative results: One man walking around a table with a flowerpot on it, while making

assertions and denying them, being simultaneously ego, an alternative ego and superego,

fantasizing about Pretty Lady while he awaits her and she never appears (like in Waiting for

Godot, of Samuel Becket, an Irish-French play writer in the same period of World Crises). Our opinion: FOURSOME is a vast metaphor for the multiple and conflicting elements within a single human character.

3 ONICESCU Informational Statistics Paradigm

The Onicescu2 methodology of data processing performs the same types of operations as does

traditional statistics yet with more information, clarity, accessibility and rapidity. For

example, one of the major goals of traditional statistics is the testing of relations; much has

been done in this respect, the basic notions being part of the answers found through the

methodologies conceived for this. Participating directly or indirectly in this statistical work

was the probabilities theory. The Onicescu methodology3 has developed under the pressure

and following the junctions with this theory, creating a modern statistics.

According to Academician Octav Onicescu’s outlook, the informational energy4 is „the

statistical barometer of the systems measuring the general status of a system, either material

or organic, economic or social, on the structure of which we are informed through the

frequencies with which its characteristic elements are distributed among its components“.

When the probabilities resulting from the frequencies of the appearance of characteristics are

equal, this informational energy is minimal, therefore the informational energy is a measure

of both the degree of uniformity and of differentiation/variety of a system5.

The information on systems can be obtained through repeated and/or not-repeated

experiments. If we use the survey as a cultural marketing experiment6, we can obtain data on

collectivities, systems or systems of systems in most diverse fields.

In probabilities’ concept the X variable has a finite number of states. The states, xi, could

happen with p(xi),) probability. In this case we have a distribution, a profile such as

The well known author Nicholas Georgescu-Rőegen, with the occasion of celebrating the

90th birthday of OCTAV ONICESCU, said at the conference that informational energy is one

of the measures of the quantity of information and that „L’énergie informationelle peut servir,

aussi bien que l’entropie, comme fondement d’une Theorie de l’Information.“ It is pointed out

by Nicholas Georgescu-Rőegen7 that the real object study of statistics is the rational guess in

a random structure. The role of definitions he said (pp.222) is not to falsify reality, but to

facilitate communications about it as it. Thus, the use of „estimation” instead „rational guess”

is delusive as well as misleading; it only adds a false aura of scientism to the notion described

more faithfully by the latter term.

So, we could consider at least two theorems on the „rational guess” of informational energy in

case of the repeated and non-repeated investigation showing that the empiric informational

energy is a correct estimation of the theoretical informational energy but it is not the theme of

this approach now.

Nicholas Georgescu-Rőegen also said (op.cit.pp.223) that „the object studies by statistics are

the set whose elements possess the same quantitative or qualitative attribute”. In the usual

jargon, we speak of a „population” or „collective”. The raison d’etre of statistics is the fact

that population – just like atoms (in physics) molecules (in chemistry), cells (in classical

biology on the organism) etc, - have some strictly specific properties, such as, for example,

only a population can display dispersion or structural skewness. An individual may have a

height, but not an average height. Population of only one individual is degenerate structures,

which may appear in statistics only in some analytical arguments. „A most instructive

example in this respect is supplied by thermodynamics, where we are explicitly told that there

is no sense in associating collective coordinates such as pressure or entropy, for instance, with

a single molecule.

4. Narrative versus Antenarrative after David Boje

Further, we discuss the Narrative versus Antenarrative Analyses concerning the Enron

financial meltdown according to the vision of Boje. Not long before this meltdown the

“Global Economic Crises” of world finance, the case of the seventh largest American

corporation ENRON was described as “a rapid, disastrous, and uncontrolled climactic fall in

share prises”. Why, do Boje and Rosile put in the title of their article “Enron’s Epic and

Tragic Narration”? As they have written already written, it is because life imitates art and

“epic theatre is not one narrator on one stage; it is a multitude of simultaneous theatric

performances, collectively negotiated by inquiry participants (reporters, regulators, analysts),

narrating while wandering in an unstable labyrinth of networked stages”. To achieve more

information and knowledge we must interpret different narratives and antenarratives of

disasters as that of the American corporation ENRON as “we contend that epic and tragic

interpretations of corporate meltdown each have differential readings of the scope and

coherence” [Boje, Rosile]. For example, the authors’ hypothesis “that conscribed tragic

narration across education, news media, and political fronts keeps the charade in play;

meanwhile, epic narrators keep expanding inquiry to crack the façade”. Looking for new

antenarratives, they gain knowledge. Boje and Rosile write that: “The corporate world

invokes the term meltdown to describe the uncontrolled spiraling of share prices falling fast

and far. The tragic narration of meltdown seeks to assign the cause of the disaster to the

classic elements of tragic drama: the tragic hero’s flaw (which causes both success and

failure), their overweening pride (hubris), and the reversal of fortunes (changing

circumstances)”.

4.1. Factorial experiments and Fuzzy functions

In the following we illustrate an application of one methodology based on: (a) planning

statistical factorial experiments 23, (b) using fuzzy membership function as minimum,

intermediary, not intermediary but extreme values are important, (c) finding interactions of

zero, one and two order between three attributes, (d) measuring relationships information

gains with Informational Statistics, (e) identifying strong, weak, false, hidden or spurious

relationships between the A, B, C attributes, some identified during step (a) procedure,

planning statistical factorial experiments 23. The challenge of this approach in this paper is

that we try to illustrate the dynamics of narrative and antenarrative and their relation to stories

told about Empire Reading of Manet’s Execution of Maximilian, as aesthetic theoretists,

David Boje [3], Georges Bataille [2], Neil Larsen [5], Wilson-Bareau [12] who argue

different ways of viewing the aesthetics of Manet’s Execution of Maximilian. In the first

version, the firing squad is dressed in rebel republican army; in the second version the

122

uniforms are French; a wall appears and remains from the 3rd

version; in the 4th

version

sombrero appears and some saying that is a critique of Napoleon III’s failed Mexico conquest.

4.2 Procedure for planning statistical factorial experiments 23

The young Emperor of Mexico, Ferdinand Maximilian, was executed/assassinated at

Queretaro, the June 19th

1867, alongside two of his generals, Tomas Mejia and Miguel

Miramón. Manet based his historical painting Execution of Maximilian on eyewitness reports

printed in European newspaper. This could be assimilated as antenarrative. In David Boje

writings, the antenarrative is defined as “a bet and a prestory that can be told and theatrically

performed to enroll stakeholders in ways that transform the world of action”. Antenarrative

shifts from “What’s the story here?” meaning a beginning, middle and end incidents, to

questions of “Why and how did this particular story emerge to dominate the stage?” meaning

to “shift from linear, coherent narratives to emergent behavior of nonlinear, interactive, and

fragmented antenarratives” [3] On the other hand, fulfilling the traditional visual narrative of

empire, more iconic images that appeared in the press and circulated as postcards presented

Maximilian as a hero.

We select as A in 23 factorial experiments the opinion about Maximilian with two alternatives

a) executed, b) assassinated. As factor B we select the sentences spoken by the theorists

critics as a) in Manet’s favour, b) against Manet’aesthetics. For factor C, information

comes from a) stories narrated and b) antenarratives. Because in this paper we illustrate only

the methodology and data are imaginative we split for replication 1000 “attitudes” of

criticism, 490 in “favour” of Manet, 510 “against”.findining this data in Internet. N.b. No

real data.

The Figure 4 represent the data arranged for using the factorial experiments 23 and the

relationships of order zero, A, B, C, one, AB, AC, BC, and two, ABC. As can be seen, Fisher

coefficients shows that, no matter other variables, the common knowledge is that Maximilian

was executed Fa equal to 121,19 is greater than Fisher (1,7) which is 5,59 and this collective

knowledge is given by aestheticians with the same views as Manet in an antenarrated

process, Fisher coefficient Fbc = 23,25 greater also than Ftab = 5,59.

123

Figure 4: Frequencies

The same data transformed in information using Informational Statistics shows the

relationship between Critics and Information, if we are looking to Figure 5.

Figure 5: Informational Statistics results

124

Figure 2 Informational Statistics results

4.3 Results using Informational Statistics If we follow, the only arrows with informational gains, between B-C, Critics - Information we

see aestheticians with the same view as Manet believe that Maximilian was assassinated and

they received this information from stories narrated. The most interesting line in this

ideogram with arrows is the last lines where it looks like there is no relationship between A-

B but C (source of Information) has INFORMATIONAL CHANGE POTENTIAL from

executed to assassinated.

Figures 6 and 7 take into consideration NOINTRM function and the intermediary value

becomes zero and the extreme values are important. First, Fabc is the greatest meaning that

aestheticians “with Manet” views from narrated sources believe in assassination and the

others, the same, using antenarrated sources. Order ONE relationship it is only identified by

Fbc, critics with Manet optic believes more in narrated sources. This time, the potential of

CHANGE is better illustrated between A and B, Maximilian’s death and critic’s opinion,

125

where the intervention of C variable Information sources, change the relationship from

executed to assassinated. This is the problem in debate: Manet did claim that he was doing

art for art sake, creating fictions with no socio-historical or political significance but in

Manet’s paintings two worlds, the aesthetics of empire, and the aesthetics of revolutionary

self-liberation collide and each has its regime of truth [David Boje’s opinion]. David Boje

also writes that in a way similar to Brecht’s epic theatre, antenarratively, Manet is an

anarchist, and his painting is read as a seditious threat to empire.

Conclusions

In this article we demonstrate that applying such interstitial methodology the obtained results

are very promising for analyzing any communication about crises situations, narrated or

antenarrated that has a form of a conversation and make statistics useful in dealing with

conversation analysis. Using it to map out other opinions, or real life situations, real life

reports, other pieces of literature as Poetry or Absurd Theatre in real Crises situations. Just to

see what outcomes one gets.
