Abstract This paper examines personal narratives and how they change according to the context in which they are narrated. In particular, it argues that personal narratives change as they are mediated by various discourses, genres and modes, as well as by the peculiarities that emerge when speaking and writing in different languages and when undertaking translation. It uses a case-study approach to analyse the different narratives told by Islamic State’s Yezidi female survivor, and United Nations Goodwill ambassador, Nadia Murad, in different contexts in 2014 and in 2015. In 2014, when two Western mass media outlets interviewed Murad, her narrative was compacted and less detailed. This shifted in December 2015 when Murad testified about her ordeal before the Security Council. Mediated by the discourse of the latter and by the genre of testimony, Murad’s narrative became more detailed, and transformed from a description of a personal suffering into a call for action.

摘要 本文考察了个人叙事以及它们如何根据叙述的上下文而发生变化。特别是，它认为个人叙事会随着各种话语、体裁和模式以及在用不同语言进行口语和写作以及进行翻译时出现的特殊性而发生变化。它使用案例研究的方法来分析伊斯兰国的雅兹迪女性幸存者和联合国亲善大使纳迪亚穆拉德在 2014 年和 2015 年在不同背景下讲述的不同叙述。 2014 年，当两家西方大众媒体采访穆拉德时，她的叙述很紧凑，不太详细。2015 年 12 月，当穆拉德在安理会就她的磨难作证时，情况发生了变化。在后者的话语和证词类型的调解下，
