The native “body narrative” does not involve the reflexive reconstruction of “narrative”, but has a certain degree of cognition and reflection on the narrative function of “body”. This functional concept, which pays more attention to cultural practice, can be regarded as the pre-theoretical form of Corporeal Narratology. The construction of Corporeal Narratology has been delayed for a long time, which is partly due to the indifference and confusion of the contradictory tension between the two elements of body / narrative. The re-conceptualization of “body” and classic “narrative” is the basic way for Daniel Punday to construct Corporeal Narratology. Daniel Punday’s re-conceptualization of “body” is achieved through historicization. Its reinterpretation of “body” is intended to overcome the theoretical limitation of objectifying “body”, and then embed “body” into the constructive order of Corporeal Narratology. Narratology focuses on the use of form rather than story elements. The inherent reason for the formation of this tendency is that narratology researchers do not know how to study these elements(such as “body”). Daniel Punday completes the reconstruction of Corporeal Narratology on the basis of critical reflection on traditional narratology. His theory takes into account the two dimensions of “body” and “narrative”, which is the organic combination of “what” and “how”.
