In this article, we introduce chrononarratology as a programmatic term for a way of “doing” narratology that addresses some of the major challenges and tendencies of narrative theory. Chrononarratology builds on and takes seriously the increasing interest in historical and diachronic approaches to narrative within narratology in recent years. We begin by offering a meta-analysis of what exactly narratologists have been engaged in when they use the labels “historical” and “diachronic” narratology. The results of our meta-analysis mark the starting point for outlining chrononarratology as a framework. Chrononarratology offers a perspective that can inform narratological work in all its theoretical paradigms. It invites narratology to take into account historical change and the importance of narrative’s situatedness and calls for collaborations between scholars working on different periods. In order to arrive at chrononarratology, one does not have to change the materials one works with, but approach them with a deeper historical awareness. We conclude with a list of reflective questions for those who wish to make their own approach more chrononarratological.

在这篇文章中，我们介绍了时间叙述学作为“做”叙事学方式的纲领性术语，它解决了叙事理论的一些主要挑战和趋势。时间叙事学建立在并认真对待近年来叙事学中对历史和历时叙事方法的兴趣日益浓厚。我们首先对叙事学家在使用“历史”和“历时”叙事学的标签时所从事的工作进行了元分析。我们的荟萃分析结果标志着将时间叙述学作为框架概述的起点。时间叙事学提供了一种视角，可以在其所有理论范式中为叙事学工作提供信息。它邀请叙事学考虑历史变迁和叙事情境的重要性，并呼吁不同时期的学者之间进行合作。为了达到年代叙事学，人们不必改变作品所用的材料，而是以更深的历史意识来接近它们。最后，我们列出了一系列反思性问题，供那些希望自己的方法更具时间叙述性的人使用。
