Abstract

Abstract:This article considers the stories Afghan refugees tell about their displacement from Afghanistan and emplacement in the United States. Drawing on scholarship about reportability, tellability, and storyability, this article argues that narrators foreground the noteworthiness of their experiences through specific sign relationships, foremost among them iconicity. Specifically, this article discusses two narrative strategies—parallelism and co-narration—Afghan refugee narrators use that heighten the evaluative functions of their most storyable personal narratives and create an iconic relationship between story and interview event.

阿富汗难民的标志性故事

摘要:本文考虑了阿富汗难民讲述的他们从阿富汗流离失所到美国安置的故事。借鉴关于可报告性、可讲述性和可故事性的学术研究，本文认为叙述者通过特定的符号关系(其中最重要的是象似性)来突出其经历的值得注意性。具体来说，本文讨论了阿富汗难民叙述者使用的两种叙事策略——平行叙事和共同叙事，这两种叙事策略提高了他们最具故事性的个人叙事的评价功能，并在故事和采访事件之间建立了一种标志性的关系。

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.
