Abstract

ABSTRACT This work extended the communication theory of resilience by examining how individuals construct anticipatory resilience through narratives of disruptive life events. Guided by postmodern antenarrative theory, we analyzed the emplotment of 25 individuals’ narratives of disruptive events to understand how participants make sense of these events and prospectively craft resilience as storied logics of the future. The findings challenged extant resilience theorizing by centering narrative incoherence and conceiving of anticipatory resilience as a communicated logic of the future rather than as discursive-material resource. The analysis also suggested theoretical implications for this reframed understanding of anticipatory resilience and narrative incoherence as a site for critical investigation of resilience processes.

运用预期心理弹性:心理弹性交际理论的前叙事延伸

摘要这项工作通过研究个体如何通过对破坏性生活事件的叙述来构建预期韧性，扩展了韧性的传播理论。在后现代前叙事理论的指导下，我们分析了25个人对破坏性事件的叙述，以了解参与者如何理解这些事件，并前瞻性地将韧性打造为未来的故事逻辑。这些发现以叙事不连贯为中心，将预期韧性视为未来的沟通逻辑，而不是话语性的物质资源，从而挑战了现有的韧性理论。该分析还提出了对预期复原力和叙事不连贯的重新定义的理解的理论含义，作为对复原力过程进行批判性研究的场所。
