Abstract

Abstract:Based on flood stories from the lower Daugava neighborhoods in Riga, this article seeks to explore the relational capacity of environmental narrative. Reverberating ideas of recent posthumanist and new materialist origin, it aims to bring to the fore personal oral accounts as a source for phenomenological inquiry into how people experience the agency of matter and how they narratively build relationships with their environment. I argue that personal experience stories have a unique epistemological value for the study of relational ontologies in that they provide access to the subjectivities of people’s varied engagement with the environment.

洪水故事:水的中介与叙事的关系

摘要:本文以里加道加瓦河下游地区的洪水故事为基础，探讨环境叙事的关系能力。它反映了最近的后人类主义和新唯物主义起源的思想，旨在将个人口头叙述作为现象学研究的来源，探讨人们如何体验物质的代理以及他们如何通过叙事与环境建立关系。我认为，个人经历故事对关系本体论的研究具有独特的认识论价值，因为它们提供了人们与环境各种接触的主体性。

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.
