FRIAS Project
Diachronic Narratology
At FRIAS Fludernik will be starting her DFG-funded Reinhart-Koselleck project on diachronic narratology. This work intends to look at the development of English narrative from the late Middle Ages to the nineteenth century from the perspective of functional changes in narrative strategies and to do so by considering several narrative genres and their evolution. The intention is to compare between genres both synchronically and diachronically in order to determine which changes are genre-related and which changes occur in all genres at roughly the same period. In contrast to historical narratologies, focusing on narrative strategies within a particular period (medieval narratology, early modern narratology, etc.), the project wants to highlight the shifts in form and function between different periods and genres.
