NARRATION AS A CONSTITUENT PART OF THE MEDIATION IN ENGLISH FICTION CONFLICT DISCOURSE
Journal Title: Одеський лінгвістичний вісник - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue
Abstract
The article deals with the idea of correlation between narration and mediation in English speaking fiction, its similarities and differences while expressing the conflict position of opponents. Fiction as a part of an influential tool towards society depicts not only the particular idea within the concrete setting but also shows the main streams of people’s outlook towards the double sense situations that produce a conflict. Dispute resolution ideas take place either in performance of a narrator or a character within fictional discourse. Narrator as a part of unchangeable element of fiction is formally the prominent character who is entitled to lead the reader within the plot taking into account internal (man versus self-conflict) and external conflict of characters such as man versus man, man versus nature, man versus society and man versus fate. At the same time the role of a narrator can be transformed to the model of mediator’s behaviour whose aim is to find an appropriate resolution of a conflict for both opposite parties either within the conflict dialogue or controversial ideas depicted in English speaking fiction discourse. The idea of narrative mediation is to encourage the conflicting parties to tell their personal "story" of the conflict and reach resolution through a profound understanding of the context of their individual stories. The narrative perception is that people tend to organize their experiences in a story form where the narrative metaphor draws attention to the ways in which we use stories to make sense of lives and relationships. At the same time mediators who use a narrative orientation are interested in the constitutive properties of conflict stories that help to create a context from which a preferred story line can be developed and to build trust to the mediator and to the mediation process, develop externalizing conversations, map the effects of the problem on the person, deconstruct the dominant story lines and develop shared meanings about the conflict and its solutions.
