Abstract

In this research article we explored the dialogical mechanisms of ideological meaning making in the aftermath of traumatic loss, via descriptive phenomenological qualitative research. Thirty-three individuals who lost a close family member in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were interviewed regarding the dialogues they had about their ideology in the aftermath of their loss. Analysis identified four types of dialogues that assisted in ideological meaning making: dialogue with political figures, dialogue with and through the media, dialogue with the deceased, and dialogue with radicalized bereaved individuals. Applications of our findings to the constructivist theory of bereavement are discussed.

摘要

在这篇研究文章中，我们通过描述性现象学定性研究探讨了创伤性丧失后意识形态意义形成的对话机制。33 名在以巴冲突中失去亲人的人接受了采访，讨论了他们在失去亲人后就他们的意识形态进行的对话。分析确定了四种类型的对话有助于意识形态意义的形成：与政治人物的对话、与媒体的对话、与死者的对话以及与激进的丧亲者的对话。讨论了我们的发现在丧亲之痛的建构主义理论中的应用。
