Abstract |
The current research is an attempt to conceptualize and define the structure of “Genfukei” in order to explain how it forms and what is common among individuals of a particular group. Field interviews... were conducted on Jeju Island, South Korea. Four groups of 4 to 6 adults particpated. Results of the analyses of each group narrative revealed 4 types of narrative participation: 1) new topic introduction type, 2) elaborate explanation type, 3) receptive reaction type, and 4) acceptive questioning type. Moreover, we found that by focusing on the elaborate explanation type of narrative participation we could see how “the shared Genfukei” may form through a gradual shift from the use of the world “I” to “we” during a narrative. It is suggested that this method of investigation and analysis is useful when attempting to understand how a community is formed.show more
