Abstract

Abstract This project investigates narratives of survivors of sex trafficking posted on YouTube and focuses specifically on moments when the survivor started a transition from being trafficked to becoming free. Narrative analysis is used to explore recurrent narrative features and we find that the description of life or death circumstances is one common context for the decision to escape being trafficked. Furthermore, we show how speakers use reported private thoughts (RPT) to narrate the turning point in which they had a realization about their current situation. We examine how the speaker reconstructs her realization, her in-the-moment stance, and subsequent agency in her turning point narrative as she reports how and why she took action to make a change in the situation. The analysis provides insight into how survivors of sex trafficking have transitioned away from trafficking, and how they reconstruct their agency in doing so.

在性交易幸存者的叙述中使用报告的私人思想重建代理

本项目调查了YouTube上发布的性交易幸存者的叙述，并特别关注幸存者从被贩运到获得自由的过渡时刻。叙述分析用于探索反复出现的叙述特征，我们发现对生死情况的描述是决定逃避被贩运的一个常见背景。此外，我们展示了说话者如何使用报告的私人思想(RPT)来叙述他们对自己的现状有了认识的转折点。我们考察讲话者在叙述她如何以及为什么采取行动来改变现状时，是如何重建她的认识、她当时的立场以及随后在她的转折点叙事中的代理的。该分析提供了洞察性贩运幸存者如何从贩运中过渡，以及他们如何在此过程中重建自己的机构。
