Abstract

This case study examined how a 14-year-old youth and eighth-grade student named Kendra (pseudonym) mobilized restorying to (re)center her experiences in horror fiction. I asked how she conceptualized horror and monstrosity in a 6-week English language arts unit, and how she (re)centered her life experiences within horror fiction through restorying “The Price” by Neil Gaiman. Focusing on two forms of her restorying practices—counter-storytelling and transmedia storytelling—I analyzed how she composed an original, personalized horror story. The findings illustrated how the composition reflected her conceptualizations of monstrosity and subverted problematic horror tropes. I also discussed how her horror story functioned as sociopolitical critique, a (re)interpretation of source material, and a method of composing for audiences.

推理小说：还原恐怖与怪诞的青年

本案例研究考察了一位名叫肯德拉（化名）的 14 岁八年级学生如何利用还原法（restorying）来（重新）定位她在恐怖小说中的经历。我询问了她如何在为期六周的英语语言艺术单元中将恐怖和怪异概念化，以及她如何通过还原尼尔-盖曼（Neil Gaiman）的《代价》（The Price），在恐怖小说中（重新）定位自己的人生经历。我重点分析了她还原故事的两种形式--反故事讲述和跨媒体故事讲述--以及她如何创作一个原创的、个性化的恐怖故事。研究结果表明，她的创作反映了她对怪物的概念化理解，并颠覆了存在问题的恐怖套路。我还讨论了她的恐怖故事是如何作为社会政治批判、对原始材料的（重新）诠释以及为观众创作的一种方法发挥作用的。
