The article is based on a conception of identity and self as a situated narrative construction in which memory plays a central role. To construct self-narratives, individuals internalise cultural master narratives in specific socio-cultural settings. For that reason, the analysis of self-identity needs to go beyond the individual to integrate interpersonal and socio-cultural levels, as well. Starting from this theoretical perspective, two studies of identity reconstruction of women facing situations of inequality and violence (lesbian women and women after gender-based violence) in Spain were examined. These two groups were confronted with gendered master narratives that place women in a subordinate situation. The two studies applied a similar methodology, based on the use of Bruner’s self-indicators. The analysis of the cases was focused on three issues: the dynamics of master versus alternative narratives in identity (re)construction and their relation to social reproduction and change, the need to consider the three levels of analysis (socio-cultural, interpersonal and individual) and the role of voice and silence in these processes. Finally, the involvement or memory in identity reconstruction was considered.

这篇文章基于身份和自我的概念，作为一种情境叙事结构，记忆在其中发挥核心作用。为了构建自我叙事，个人在特定的社会文化环境中内化了文化大师的叙事。出于这个原因，自我认同的分析也需要超越个人，以整合人际关系和社会文化层面。从这个理论角度出发，对西班牙面临不平等和暴力情况的妇女（女同性恋和性别暴力后的妇女）的身份重建进行了两项研究。这两个群体面临着将女性置于从属地位的性别主导叙事。这两项研究应用了类似的方法，基于使用布鲁纳的自我指标。案例分析集中在三个问题上：身份（再）建构中主叙事与替代叙事的动态及其与社会再生产和变化的关系，需要考虑三个层次的分析（社会文化、人际交往和个人) 以及声音和沉默在这些过程中的作用。最后，考虑了身份重建中的参与或记忆。
