Explanation: Your choice of "contextual plot" is correct. It is talking about a "narrative", so "plot" fits well within the context.
You could also say the "contextual plotting" (plotting suggests more depiction, deliniating, more pictorial).
I would favor plot (or plotting) over setting. I don't believe it needs to be a common term or made phrase, it is after all an art critique or essay, which is entitled much literary freedom.
Another choice would be "contextual scenario".
Avoid "scheme", since there is such a thing as "contextual scheme" in semiotics, but it is translated as "esquemas contextuales", this is probably another subject/reference alltogether (Signs in use: an introduction to semiotics, Jørgen Dines Johansen,Svend Erik Larsen).
Explanation: Another approach. Some examples of "contextual matrix":"Within a pervasive, politicized social subtext, Southern or regional themes are often explored by Twiggs, who appears to enjoy consideration of the familiar. But, such themes may be telegraphed into a larger contextual matrix of human experience..." http://www.tfaoi.com/aa/4aa/4aa597a.htm or "... that art cannot be fully determined by—or reducible to—its contextual matrix" http://www.google.es/search?hl=es&q=trama contextual matrix ... "Matrix" shares some of the "weft / weave" qualities of trama, that may be more relevant here than the concept of "plot".
