Abstract

Abstract This article applies Kenneth Burke’s concept of piety to an evaluation of nine recovery stories from members of four different 12-step fellowships. In this theoretical context, recovery can be explained as a process of adopting and remaking pious systems. All nine recovery stories follow a similar pattern: (1) identifying difference and similarity in the community; (2) letting go of old pieties; (3) adopting group piety; and (4) inventing and remaking individual systems of piety. This analysis investigates how individual and group pieties interact to strengthen or threaten individual recovery and group cohesion.

“众多中的一个”:12步康复小组中的虔诚重建

摘要本文将肯尼斯·伯克的虔诚概念应用于对四个不同的12步奖学金成员的九个康复故事的评估。在这种理论背景下，恢复可以解释为采用和重塑虔诚制度的过程。所有九个康复故事都遵循相似的模式：（1）识别社区中的差异和相似性；（2）放下旧的虔诚；（3）采用群体虔诚；以及（4）发明和改造个人的虔诚制度。该分析调查了个人和群体虔诚如何相互作用，以加强或威胁个人恢复和群体凝聚力。
