Sommario/riassunto

Though much has been written about twins, very little research has been done into their everyday lives, both postnatal and prenatal. In this fascinating new study Alessandra Piontelli follows the development and behaviour of thirty pairs of twins from their early life in the womb through to their third year of childhood. Drawing on detailed ultrasound observations and work with mothers and families in clinical and natural settings, the text traces the subtle ways in which various



types of twins live, behave and interact with their unequally shared and unique pre- and postnatal environments.

Sommario/riassunto

"Initiating a transgeneric, intermedial and interdisciplinary approach to narrative unreliability, this volume is meant to enrich, modify and refine our understanding of (un)reliable narration by taking into account not only different genres and media, but also research in a variety of disciplines. The three sections of the volume comprise articles on the theory of unreliable narration, transgeneric and intermedial issues as well as studies from areas such as journalism, politics, law and medicine" --
