围绕“亲密关系”研究的理论争论通常集中在亲子关系上,而生命的后期阶段在很大程度上被忽视了。作者认为,晚年生活中最基本的困境之一在于“手段与目的的二分法”,并认为“小说”可以帮助人们创造性地解决这一二分法。人种学数据是从斯里兰卡收集的,在那里,老年人被提示在家庭内外重新安排和/或扩大他们的护理关系,以应对动态的社会人口变化。这些重新安排和扩大照顾关系的活动以相对非正式的方式发展,通常涉及直接/间接的金钱调解。作者对一位名叫多萝西(Dorothy)的老妇人和她的照顾者兼“亲戚”皮亚达萨(Piyadasa)进行了详细的案例研究,旨在说明小说如何让我们面对深不可告人的情况或根本矛盾——在这种情况下,是一种手段与目的的二分法。与之前关于收养的研究中提出的“在收养过程中,小说可以帮助人们定义或“发现”一种注定的、永久的关系,从而形成一种“伪生物学”关系的主张相反,本文展示了小说如何帮助我们生活在不确定性中,并逐渐重塑我们彼此之间的关系。
Theoretical debates around the study of ‘kinning’, or emergent intimacies, have usually centred on parent–child relationships, while the later stages of life have largely been ignored. The author suggests that one of the fundamental dilemmas in later-life-kinning lies in the ‘means-ends dichotomy’ and argues that ‘fiction’ may help people to creatively tackle this dichotomy. Ethnographic data were collected from Sri Lanka, where the elderly are prompted to rearrange and/or extend their care relationships, both within and beyond the boundaries of family, against the backdrop of dynamic socio-demographic changes. Evolving in a relatively informal fashion, these activities to rearrange and extend care relationships often involve the direct/indirect mediation of money. Undertaking a detailed case study of an elderly woman, Dorothy, and her caregiver-cum-’kin’ Piyadasa, the author aims to illustrate how fiction enables us to face unfathomable situations or fundamental contradictions – in this case, a means-ends dichotomy. Contrary to the assertion that fiction in the process of kinning can help one define or ‘discover’ a destined, permanent relationship to form a ‘pseudo-biological’ relationship as suggested in previous research on adoption, this paper demonstrates how fiction can help us dwell in uncertainty and gradually reshape our relationships to one another.
