ABSTRACT

This study seeks to expand the use of quantum storytelling lens in qualitative research. Guided by this approach, we analyzed interviews with 32 individuals connected with the events of 9/11 in Newfoundland in three groups examining long-term narrative construction of resilience after a disrupting event and the idea that communication and construction of a resilience narrative can function as a larger community identity. This analysis revealed that participants not only use these narratives to shape their current lives but to narrate themselves and the community as resilient and generous. The findings also suggested theoretical implications that suggest we can broaden the definitions of both community and resilience and that these two are narratively constructed.

摘要

这项研究旨在扩大量子叙事镜头在定性研究中的使用。在这种方法的指导下，我们分析了对与纽芬兰 9/11 事件有关的 32 名个人的采访，将其分为三组，研究了破坏性事件后复原力的长期叙事构建，以及复原力叙事的沟通和构建可以发挥作用的想法。更大的社区认同。这项分析表明，参与者不仅使用这些叙述来塑造他们当前的生活，而且还用这些叙述来描述自己和社区的坚韧和慷慨。研究结果还提出了理论意义，表明我们可以扩大社区和复原力的定义，并且这两者是叙事性构建的。
