This chapter articulates corporeality within the concept of narrative worlds. In doing so, it encapsulates the concerns of the project as a whole, since I will critique narratology’s insistence on generalizable textual patterns and abstract logical conditions. More specifically, this project will sketch out the scope and limitations of narratology, suggesting that the type of narrative that it concerns itself with is ultimately modern. As this project will argue overall, narratology is the study of modern narrative because narratology ultimately assumes a modern body at the base of all narrative acts.
