摘要：政治庇护申请人在移民听证会上讲述的叙述往往是支离破碎的，部分原因是逃离暴力和歧视的人并不总是了解他们遭受迫害的细节。我们讨论了讲述意外事件和暴力发生前人们日常生活中没有先例的经历的特殊问题。基于早期对叙事连贯性和创伤叙事的研究，我们描述了叙事形式和听觉互动中叙事崩溃是如何发生的。我们认为这种叙述崩溃是政治庇护听证会上更大范围的怀疑讨论的一部分。
Abstract:The narratives that political asylum applicants tell in immigration hearings are often fragmentary, in part because people fleeing violence and discrimination are not always knowledgeable about the details of their persecution. We discuss the particular problem of narrating unanticipated events, experiences that have no precedent in people's ordinary lives before violence. Building on earlier research on narrative coherence and trauma narrative, we describe how narrative breakdown occurs in narrative form and in the hearing interactions. We suggest that this narrative breakdown is part of a larger discourse of suspicion in political asylum hearings.
