为了促进对交流中列表和故事之间辩证关系的研究,这项研究建议通过关注这些形式被召唤来解决的持久问题,将上下文添加到文本中。一个重要的组织名单--荒野消防员的10个标准消防命令--的谱系表明,一个名单的意义更多地体现在它周围的话语中,而不是它的表面上,随着时间的推移,这一点可能会发生变化。堆积在清单上的旧含义和不相关的文化功能的痕迹可能会导致冲突,并可能使清单很难废弃,即使清单出于预期目的而过时。因此,协调这些层面的意义和功能不是一个技术问题,而是一个修辞问题。对传播学研究的意义进行了讨论。
To invigorate research on the dialectic between lists and stories in communication, this study recommends adding context back to text by focusing on the enduring problems these forms are summoned to solve. A genealogy of one significant organizational list, wildland firefighters’ 10 Standard Fire Orders, shows how a list's meaning resides less on its face and more in the discourses surrounding it, which can change over time. Vestiges of old meanings and unrelated cultural functions heaped upon a list can lead to conflicts, and can make the list difficult to scrap even when rendered obsolete for its intended purpose. Reconciling these layers of meanings and functions is thus not a technical problem but rather a rhetorical one. Implications for communication research are addressed.
