Diachronic Narratology

历时叙事学项目开始了叙事学研究的重大创新重新定位，用历时方法取代了该学科的经典同步。从历时的角度来看，该项目将追溯英语叙事史上的功能转变和新的叙事策略，将这些变化与仍然具有持续相关性的特征进行对比。该项目的主要目的是识别和描述13世纪以来英语叙事过程中的这种范式转变，并由此解决叙事学的普遍主义主张的问题。所概述的发展阶段是否足以证明存在着几种离散的、受历史约束的叙事学，或者我们所熟悉的叙事学分析的范畴是否可以在语境和历史上加以反思，从而使当前的后古典叙事学范式能够容纳跨越历史范围的叙事？如果设想后一种目标，这将涉及到该学科内部的重大挑战，因为旧的静态叙事学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一段时间的广泛现象的过程，从功能(而不是类型学)的角度这样做，并开发一种能够公平对待所指出的功能和过程方面的历时叙事学的新模式。

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.
