Narratology:

An offshoot of structuralism which seeks to apply the linguistic
model to the analysis of narrative. Its enabling distinction is
between story (the "actual" chronological sequence of events) and
discourse (the order in which those events are presented to the
reader). Narratology attempts to construct a poetics of fiction or
grammar of storytelling, analyzing the codes, conventions, and
systems that structure all narration. (See also Structuralism.)
