Abstract

Abstract:Drawing on an ethnographic and discourse-analytic study, this article examines the meaning and function of narrative in the civic engagement of volunteers who provided humanitarian aid to refugees during the migratory movements of 2015. I argue that a group of self-organized volunteers in a German town used diffferent kinds of narrative during their engagement to advance their own views on the migratory movements and on voluntary work with refugees. A collective narrative in terms of a cognitive structure evolved during the event that shaped the relationship between the volunteers and authorities.

“欢迎文化”叙事:难民志愿援助的文化政治

摘要：本文通过人种学和话语分析研究，探讨了叙事在2015年移民运动期间为难民提供人道主义援助的志愿者公民参与中的意义和功能。我认为，德国一个城镇的一群自组织志愿者在参与活动时使用了不同类型的叙述，以提出他们自己对移民运动和难民志愿工作的看法。在塑造志愿者和当局之间关系的事件中，认知结构方面的集体叙事发生了变化。

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
