Resumen:	This article advances an analytical device in the field of Narrative Production Methodology (NPM) called 'Chronotopic Diffraction' (CD) by presenting partial results of an ongoing research project with people who have recently sustained a spinal cord injury. Firstly, the paper discusses the epistemological and ethico-political principles (situated knowledge and diffraction) that frame the emergence of CD. Particularly, I illustrate how the bakhtinian notion of 'chronotope' has different meanings that enrich not only these two principles, but also disability studies' analyses of 'adjustment to disability'. Secondly, I describe the process of constructing a Narrative through the optics of CD, which takes the form of a diary. Thirdly, I demonstrate how CD allows us to grasp that: (a) Disability and adjustment to it emerge as a liminal chronotope if we let changes in the participants and the researchers' subjectivities appear in the Narrative. (b) Adjusting to a disability has to do with mal/adjusting to the hegemonic social chronotope over time, and this process also unfolds in the site of Narrative construction itself. (c) Situating power relations between researcher and the participant allows us to be responsible for the phenomena that emerge in our inquiry, and how we transform them.
