But also the way the demands of the telling - story structure, genre conventions, etc. - might shape the narrative. Narratological approaches are often as interested in the process that creates the historical record as they are in the events they record.

Which can be a very valid lens, especially in situations where the narrative has further influence - e.g. Herodotus' Greek/non-Greek binary in his composition of a history of the Persian Wars (inter alia) encouraging a greater sense of Pan-Hellenic identity.

I looked it up but I thought it was funny in a paragraph about jargon.

Sure, but it's a good example where the technical term is necessary. There isn't a common English way to say narratology that isn't a full sentence on its own (or a short paragraph).
