我们利用定位理论重新分析了乔·贝瑞(她的父亲在爱尔兰共和军的一次轰炸中丧生)和帕特里克·马吉(他安放了炸弹)之间冲突后和解对话的数据。分析表明,话语活动不仅将自我和他者同时定位为个体,而且还将彼此置于对话关系中,从而揭示、协商和转移多层身份。这篇文章有几个目的。首先,它引入了新的结构,共情相互定位,以描述和解中的一个关键动态,通过这个动态,说话者双方可以相互认识和理解。它展示了共情相互定位如何推动和解的过程,以及它如何随着和解的进行而演变和变化。本文阐述了共情相互定位的三个功能:扩张性、拥抱性和反身性,并认为共情相互定位是和解过程中一个关键、独特和必要的组成部分。作为一种对和解的有意承诺,它作为一种力量运作,但它也是一种动态的心理过程,因为它在展开的过程中改变了参与其中的人。其次,本文讨论了将共情相互定位作为调解员进行和解实践的一种策略方法的潜在好处。调解员可以鼓励、支持或利用共情相互定位来支撑调解过程,并在调解的困难时刻支持参与者。最后,本文讨论了共情相互定位这一新概念与在冲突解决/转化的中介实践工作中广泛使用的定位-利益-需求模型之间的关系。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2020 APA,版权所有)
We employ Positioning Theory in a reanalysis of data from postconflict reconciliation conversations between Jo Berry, whose father was killed in an IRA bombing, and Patrick Magee, who planted the bomb. The analysis shows how discourse activity simultaneously positions not just the Self and the Other as individuals, but also in dialogic relation to each other, whereby multilayered identities are revealed, negotiated, and shifted. This article has several aims. First, it introduces the new construct, Empathic Mutual Positioning, to describe a key dynamic in reconciliation through which mutual recognition and understanding is made possible for both speakers. It shows how Empathic Mutual Positioning drives the process of reconciliation, and how it evolves and changes as conciliation proceeds. The article illustrates the three functions of Empathic Mutual Positioning: expansive, embracing, and reflexive, and it argues that Empathic Mutual Positioning is a key, distinctive, and essential component in reconciliation processes. As an intentional commitment to conciliation it operates as a force, but it is also a dynamic psychic process in that it changes the people involved while unfolding. Second, the article discusses the potential benefits of applying Empathic Mutual Positioning as a strategic approach to conciliation by mediators engaged in reconciliation practice. Mediators can encourage, support, or exploit Empathic Mutual Positioning to scaffold the process and support participants at difficult points in the conciliation. Finally, it discusses how this new concept, Empathic Mutual Positioning, relates to the Positioning-Interests-Needs model widely used in mediated practical work in conflict resolution/transformation.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
