Abstract [...] modest and reversible the act of translation might at first appear, it is never as modest or as reversible as it pretends. [...] Clarke's project to upgrade the field of narratology by translating it into the language of neocybernetics-variously presented as a "[r]ediscription of mainstream narrative theory . . . through second-order systems concepts" (7) and a "productive alignment of narratological with systems-theoretical distinctions" (31)-is necessarily more than redescription, more than alignment of two equivalent vocabularies.
