Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss difficulties with telling the truth in non-fictive narratives (e.g. trauma stories, rape narratives, asylum-seekers’ narratives). In order to do that I analyze, among others, various discourse fictionalization strategies, such as emplotment, narrative substances (Nss), vague predicates, and approximate references. I argue that these strategies are conditioned by the very nature of language, and therefore are present in all types of statements – literary as well as scientific. Referring to the concept of alethic pluralism, I also discuss how it is possible that the use of fictionalization techniques in non-fictive stories does not necessarily transform them into fiction.

在非虚构叙事中讲真话的困难和虚构化的问题
本文的目的是讨论在非虚构叙事(如创伤故事、强奸叙事、寻求庇护者叙事)中讲述真相的困难。为了做到这一点,我分析了各种话语虚构化策略,如雇佣、叙事实体(Nss)、模糊谓词和近似指称。我认为这些策略是由语言的本质决定的,因此存在于所有类型的陈述中——文学的和科学的。在谈到真性多元主义的概念时,我也讨论了在非虚构故事中使用虚构化技术不一定会把它们变成虚构的可能性。

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.
