重新讲述生命故事:叙事治疗、另类记忆与传播赋权

Re-telling Life Stories: Narrative Therapy,Alternative Memory,and Communication Empowerment

本文勾连传播学和心理学研究,将叙事治疗作为一种传播赋权的实践,聚焦传播的互动交往和意义建构的意涵,以'传播的仪式观'的理念,探究重新讲述生命故事的人际传播过程、另类记忆和赋权的关系。在叙事治疗的人际互动过程中,主体不断发展替代性的故事,生产另类记忆和独特结果,进而促进问题的外化,重塑生命意义,重新界定身份认同和关系。叙事治疗的传播实践挑战病理化的治疗机制和社会支配性的权力,为主体讲述生命故事的权利、生产另类知识和记忆的权力赋权,从而促进主体批判性意识的觉醒,积极介入问题的解决。

Taking the ritual view of communication,this paper articulates communication and psychological research,regards narrative therapy as the practice of communication empowerment,and focuses on the interaction and meaning-making process.It examines the relationships between the interpersonal communication of retelling life stories,alternative memories and empowerment.The interaction process of narrative therapy encourages the subject to constantly develop alternative stories,and to produce alternative memories and unique outcomes,thus promoting the externalization of problems,reshaping life meanings,and redefining the identities and relationships.Narrative therapy challenges the mechanism of the pathological treatment and the power of social dominance,and empowers the subject the storytelling right,as well as the power of producing alternative knowledges and memories in the process of communication,thereby awakening the critical consciousness and actively intervening in solving problems.
