Abstract This article examines the concept of experientiality in conversational storytelling from an ethnomethodological perspective, introducing a case in which the narrative mediation of experience fails. The recipient misses the experiential point of the story in the flow of interaction, which stems from other reasons than a failure in sense-making or cognitive comprehension. I discuss my findings with Monika Fludernik’s influential theory of Natural Narratology, according to which all narratives concern experiential exchange between the teller and the recipient, which travels from one consciousness to the other through natural cognitive parameters grounded in real life schemata. Applying conversation analysis, I focus on scrutinizing the details of the turn-by-turn unfolding activities of the participants. My analysis demonstrates that Fludernik’s conception of naturality falls short in capturing the relevancies of naturally occurring storytelling. Ignoring the reflexive intentionality of telling and reception makes Natural Narratology ill-equipped to grasp the dynamics of experientiality in everyday narration.

一个比现实更真实的故事

摘要 本文从民族方法论的角度考察了对话叙事中的体验性概念，并介绍了一个经验叙事中介失败的案例。接收者在交互流程中错过了故事的体验点，这源于其他原因，而不是意义构建或认知理解的失败。我将与莫妮卡·弗鲁德尼克 (Monika Fludernik) 有影响力的自然叙事学理论讨论我的发现，根据该理论，所有叙事都涉及讲述者和接受者之间的经验交流，这种交流通过以现实生活模式为基础的自然认知参数从一种意识传播到另一种意识。应用对话分析，我专注于仔细检查参与者的逐步展开活动的细节。我的分析表明，Fludernik 的自然性概念在捕捉自然发生的讲故事的相关性方面存在不足。忽视讲述和接受的反射性意向性使得自然叙事学无法掌握日常叙事中的经验动态。
