Abstract
This paper explores the narration of local practitioners and scholars on the development of narrative practice in Hong Kong over the past two decades. A qualitative study is conducted in this study through semi-structured interviews with five local narrative practice practitioners and scholars to collect their narrations on the development of narrative practices in Hong Kong. Four themes are found: 1) expectations for an alternative approach; 2) emergence of a narrative practice community and publications in Hong Kong; 3) transformative impacts of narrative practices on local practitioners; 4) hopes for the future of narrative practice in Hong Kong and potential challenges. Finally, three distinguishing features of the development of narrative practice in Hong Kong are discussed: "practice diversity for identity transformation"; "from a single story to multiple storylines with inspiring experiences"; and "legacy from generation to generation".
本文致力於考察香港前線工作者和學者對過去20年本地敘事實踐發展的敘述。論文使用質性研究的方法, 通過對五位本地敘事實踐者和學者的半結構性訪談, 對他們有關香港敘事實踐發展的敘述進行了收集。研究發現了四個主題: 1) 對另類實踐的期許; 2) 敘事實踐社群和出版物在香港嶄露頭角; 3) 敘事實踐對本地前線工作者的變革性影響; 4) 對香港敘事實踐的未來的盼望和潛在挑戰。最後, 我們討論了敘事實踐在香港發展的三大特色 — 促進身份轉變的多樣實踐; 從單一故事到具有啟發意義的多樣故事情節;以及代代承傳的挑戰。
