In opposition to the form of shock doctrine these two disasters highlight are theological anthropologies and praxis of religious alternatives to care and rebuilding. A disrupted research trip explores the competing visions of development, governance, and flourishing between the International Monetary Fund’s presence in Ecuador with shock doctrine and local economic collectives’ and the national solidarity movement’s liberative pastoral responses through Buen Vivir, an indigenous praxis of interdependence. The formation of democratic economic collectives and the validation of solidarity in large-scale national strikes demonstrate the power of pastoral theological responses holding to an expansive vision of Buen Vivir and theological anthropologies insisting on interdependent practices of care, justice, and liturgy to bring about fundamental shifts to our understanding of good living and subjectivity of all living things.KEYWORDS: Shock doctrineDisaster capitalismBuen VivirEcuadorLiberation theologyLeonidas Proaño Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Martinho, “Artisanal Fisheries.”2 Klein, The Shock Doctrine; Valdés, Pinochet’s Economists; and Fernández-Armesto, A Hemispheric History.3 Hiskey, Montalvo, and Orcés, “Democracy, Governance, and Emigration Intentions”; Hiskey and Orces, “Transition Shocks and Emigration Profiles”; Hiskey and Moseley, Life in the Political Machine. Over the past several years political science researchers Jonathan Hiskey and Diana Orcés have traced the impact that democratic practice and participation have on migration intention. Hiskey and Orcés reviewed Latin America’s processes of uneven democratization, severe civil disturbances, and ‘transition shocks’ that drove unprecedented numbers of migration from and through the region. They found that ‘during precisely the same period that the area’s countries were transitioning to more democratic political regimes, theoretically becoming more open and accessible to citizens in the process, a historic number of individuals were making the difficult decision to leave their native country for an extended period of time.’ So much of migration intention relates to the level a person feels they can participate in the formation of their industry, society, and political life. Hiskey and Orcés found ‘that the extent to which an individual perceives [their] political system to be defective with respect to its democratic quality and governance capacity will influence [their] willingness to consider leaving [their] home country in the near future.’ Citations from “Democracy, Governance, and Emigration Intentions,” 90–91.4 Friedman, Capitalism and Freedom, 4–8, 14–17, 195–200; Rogers-Vaughn, Caring for Souls in a Neoliberal Age, 16–18.5 Friedman, Capitalism and Freedom, 4.6 Friedman,","PeriodicalId":374661,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Pastoral Theology","volume":"64 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135430635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While narrative theories in hermeneutics, psychology, and psychotherapy have been widely used in the field of pastoral theology, critical race theory has been rarely engaged, specifically in narrative approaches to pastoral care. Counterstorytelling is one of the primary theoretical and analytical frameworks that has been widely used in critical race methodology in law, education, and healthcare research. It challenges majoritarian stories that have systemically silenced the voices of people of color by creating new life-giving counterstories that honor the authentic lived experience of people of color. By reflecting on my own experience of conducting qualitative research with undocumented young adults, I examine how counterstorytelling can be used as a theoretical and methodological tool to construct justice-oriented, prophetic, and liberative functions of narrative approaches to pastoral care and theology.KEYWORDS: Qualitative researchnarrativecritical race theorycounterstorytellingundocumentedAsian American Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Moschella, “Practice Matters,” 20–21.

Marshall","doi":"10.1179/JPT.1999.9.1.005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1179/JPT.1999.9.1.005","url":null,"abstract":"There are times when an event compels those of us who identify as pastoral theologians to reflect upon and to write about our perspectives. Such an event occurred 150 miles from where I teach, write, think and live. Yesterday morning on October 12, 1998 a young college student, 21 years of age, succumbed to the beating he received at the hands of two other young men. The apparent reason for the brutal attack was that Matthew Shepard's gay sexual orientation offended the young men. This tragedy not only affects Shepard's family and friends, but its impact is felt by all of us who value love and life more than hate and violence. The trauma reflects the dangers many experience-implicitly and explicitly-as we realize that there are those who would persecute us physically, verbally, spiritually, and emotionally, because of our love for human beings of the same gender. Shepard's beating and death challenges my complicity and my reluctance to write prematurely about my research in the area of forgiveness. The silence of my careful thought has changed to an urgent pastoral theological response, even if it is only in its initial stages of conceptual maturity. It is impossible to remain intellectually aloof as I hear the grief of Shepard's family and friends, as I listen to the fear of my gay clients and students, or as I attend to the pain in my own soul. To abide in silence when I read hate material on the web, or to not respond when church leaders persecute lesbians and gays, their loved ones, and their families, is an abomination. This article begins with the assumption that Shepard's death is a public trauma that invites communities of faith into an examination of forgiveness and its centrality in the Judeo-Christian tradition. For those who regard the loss of life as an injustice perpetrated not only against Shepard, but against all who support lesbians, gay men, bisexuals or transgendered persons, the questions become: What does forgiveness mean in response to such an injustice?
