敘事分析 (Narrative Analysis: Narrating the Self) SOC 5307 2003 Spring 課 程 綱 要 宋文里 (5742819; wlsoong@mx.nthu.edu.tw) 一、前言 “When I analyze myself…I say aloud the truth of others by speaking about myself.”─對我們來說，Pierre Bourdieu是個合適的起點。在一篇working paper中，他曾說：“Life history”一詞所預設的概念是「生命即為一場歷史」，而「生命乃是個別存在事件之被視為歷史，及其被敘說成為歷史，之總和」。這些歷史總是成為一條線性的進展，有起始、有階段、有方向、也有終點。但這種敘事理論限制了我們對於生命的理解。我們毋寧把傳記式的事件視為 “…so many locations and moves in social space…in the different successive states of the structure of the different species of capital at stake in the field under consideration.” 在這一門課裡，我們將要一面寫作一種由本課程所定義的自敘傳，一面討論敘事分析（或謂「敘事法」、「敘事學」）對於一個社會/文化研究者的意義。討論主題則將聚焦於selfhood，也就是the question of identity（認同的問題）。這門課程的基本組織邏輯是從實作中發現理論問題，然後由理論的討論再回饋於實作之中。 我們將會邊寫邊談：自我是什麼？認同怎樣和他者糾纏？什麼是敘事法？對自我的敘事怎樣能不落入簡易的歷史論？甚而至：怎樣才能在自我敘事之中顯現 “the personal is the social”的意義？ 二、主要閱讀書目 1.
