生活故事通常被视为具有相当的连贯性，即使其中包括转折点。与此相反，最近的研究指出，“生活”或“小叙事”并不遵循这一规则，而是相反地使人们能够思考未解决的生活事件，帮助发展理解。这种潜力在根本性政权更迭的背景下特别有价值，因为价值体系的变化，例如从国家社会主义向民主过渡之后，对叙事连贯性提出了相当大的挑战。本文建议重新考虑生活故事的连贯性问题，并借鉴了两个例子的个人谁经历了在东德国和德国统一的生活，认为在生活故事的连贯性的斗争可能是缺乏更广泛的共同框架的国家事件和历史问题的理解。
Life-stories are usually seen as showing considerable coherence even where they include turning points. More recent work has in contrast noted that “living” or “small narratives” do not follow this rule but contrastingly enable the pondering of unresolved life-events helping to develop understanding. This potential is particularly valuable in contexts of fundamental regime-change where changes of the value-system, such as after transition from state socialism to democracy, pose considerable challenges to narrative coherence. The article suggests reconsidering the question of coherence in life-stories and draws on two examples of individuals who experienced life in East Germany and German unification to argue that struggles for coherence in the life-story can be indicative of the lack of wider shared frameworks for the understandings of national events and historical problems.
