At its most simple, the chronotope is the spatio‐temporal ‘setting’ of a given narrative. Thus, the genre ‘Western’ in cinema ‘does not just indicate a film with a “wild west” setting in the late nineteenth century, a certain cast of characters, typical locations, and a plot following certain conventions. It also inscribes a certain set of morals and mores’: Chanan (2000) Jump Cut, 43, 56. See Lawson (2011) Antipode 43, 2, 384.
