Abstract

Abstract Humans are prone to tell stories when they interact with each other. Knowing how many stories we tell in a day could be a difficult endeavor, especially because what counts as “a story” varies across disciplines and cultures. Narratives have always been primary modes in human communication and engagement across cultures, however, and have been used as key analytical tools across numerous disciplines in the social sciences and beyond. While defining narratives has been a daunting task in narratological studies, it is important to appreciate that narratives have also been studied for their pragmatic effects in the here-and-now of speech participants’ interactions and across various spatiotemporal configurations. Through an analysis of a set of narrative practices that I collected in Senegal (West Africa) and in Northern Italy in interview settings, I demonstrate that narratives are also performative interactional events in which their sociocultural surrounding is always fluid and can influence the story in unpredictable ways as it unfolds in interaction.

叙事作为访谈中的话语实践
摘要当人类相互交流时,他们倾向于讲故事。了解我们一天讲多少故事可能是一项困难的工作,尤其是因为“故事”的含义因学科和文化而异。然而,叙事一直是人类跨文化交流和参与的主要模式,并被社会科学及其他领域的许多学科用作关键的分析工具。虽然在叙事学研究中,定义叙事一直是一项艰巨的任务,但重要的是要认识到,叙事在言语参与者互动的此时此地以及各种时空配置中的语用效果也得到了研究。通过分析我在塞内加尔(西非)和意大利北部采访时收集的一系列叙事实践,我证明叙事也是一种表演性互动事件,在这种事件中,叙事的社会文化环境总是不稳定的,当故事在互动中展开时,叙事会以不可预测的方式影响故事。

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.
