In this paper I lay out some of the main theoretical methodological principles that underlie a
narratives-as-practices approach and discuss three foci that emerge from current research and pave the way for future
investigations. In particular, I focus on mobility, connectivity, time/space anchoring and chronotopicity as both characteristics
of narrative and research areas which allow for an integration of the focus of interactional approaches on emergence with a
consideration of the historical and social embedding of narratives into practices. I review recent research that has contributed
to this trend in narrative studies and discuss some of the limitations of current work and areas that need further investigation.
I advocate for an expansion of research on a wider variety of practices, attention to the characteristics of narrative genres, and
in general a stronger critical engagement with ways in which narratives participate in social processes involving power and
inequality.
