Diachronic Narratology

历时叙事学项目以历时方法取代了叙事学的经典同步性，开创了叙事学研究的重大创新方向。从历时的角度来看，该项目将追踪英语叙事史上的功能转变和新的叙事策略，并将这些变化与持续相关的特征进行对比。该项目的主要目的是识别和描述自13世纪以来英语叙事过程中的这种范式转变，然后提出叙事学普遍主义主张的问题。所概述的发展阶段是否证明了有几个离散的历史约束叙事学的诊断，或者熟悉的叙事学分析类别是否可以在语境和历史上发生变化，以便当前的后古典叙事学范式能够适应历史范围内的叙事？如果设想后一个目标，这涉及到学科内部的重大挑战，因为叙事学的旧静态类别将不得不被新的灵活的和历史上合理的参数所取代。因此，该项目的风险在于试图涵盖跨越时间范围的各种现象的过程，从功能（而不是类型学）的角度来做这件事，并开发一种新的历时叙事学模型，能够公正地处理已知的功能和过程方面。

The project Diachronic Narratology initiates a major innovative reorientation in narratological study by replacing the discipline's classical synchronism with a diachronic approach. From a diachronic perspective, the project will trace functional shifts and new narrative strategies in the history of English narrative, contrasting these changes with features that have remained of continuous relevance. It is the main aim of the project to identify and describe such paradigm shifts in the course of English narrative from the thirteenth century onwards and to then repose the question of narratology's universalist claims. Do the stages of the developments which have been outlined warrant the diagnosis that there are several discrete historically bound narratologies, or can the familiar categories of narratological analysis be contextually and historically inflected so that the current postclassical narratological paradigm is able to accommodate narratives across a historical range? If the latter aim is envisaged, this involves a significant challenge within the discipline, since the old static categories of narratology will have to be replaced by new flexible and historically sensible parameters. The risks of the project thus lie in the attempt to cover processes spanning a wide range of phenomena over time, to do so from a functional (rather than typological) perspective and to develop a new model of diachronic narratology that is able to do justice to the noted functional and processual aspects.
