Abstract

Abstract A comprehensive theoretical review suggests that tellability can be used to understand life stories, how stories are constructed, the social context shaping storytelling, and how stories function as a mode of thought. However, the complex and multi-dimensional nature of tellability has been overlooked. This study analyzes one Chinese teacher’s storytelling of six entrepreneurs’ stories as an example, aiming to demonstrate that tellability is structurally embedded within an entire story. Interpreting the stories with reference to the classroom setting reveals that entrepreneurial narratives are tellable because they institutionalize culturally salient values and beliefs about entrepreneurship, they are pedagogically meaningful, and they provide an epistemological tool for listeners to constitute their future reality. This paper argues that an analysis on tellability, informed by multiple theories and recognizant of its structural, social, ontological and epistemological nature, is effective to understand teachers’ storytelling in classrooms and unpack the meanings of stories in more detail.

运用可讲性分析课堂上的创业叙事
摘要一篇全面的理论综述表明,tellability可以用来理解生活故事、故事是如何构建的、塑造故事的社会背景以及故事如何作为一种思维模式发挥作用。然而,tellability的复杂性和多维性却被忽视了。本研究以一位中国教师讲述六位企业家的故事为例进行分析,旨在证明tellability在结构上嵌入到整个故事中。参照课堂环境解读这些故事表明,创业叙事之所以可行,是因为它们将文化上突出的创业价值观和信念制度化,具有教育意义,并为听众提供了一种认识论工具,以构成他们未来的现实。本文认为,在多种理论的指导下,对tellability进行分析,并认识到其结构、社会、本体论和认识论性质,对于理解教师在课堂上讲故事和更详细地解读故事的意义是有效的。

期刊介绍: Narrative Inquiry is devoted to providing a forum for theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on narrative. Articles appearing in Narrative Inquiry draw upon a variety of approaches and methodologies in the study of narrative as a way to give contour to experience, tradition, and values to next generations. Particular emphasis is placed on theoretical approaches to narrative and the analysis of narratives in human interaction, including those practiced by researchers in psychology, linguistics and related disciplines.
