14 .*-- (,**, ) Abstract Narrative Construction Theory of the Self Mamoru FUNATSU It is said that the narrative turn has come into the fields of therapy, social psychology, sociology and medical anthropology. The narrative is a mechanism for transforming the experiences into meaningful wholes. Human lives are permeated by narratives. Individuals and their societies are narrated phenomena. The narrative has three elements, i.e., the past, the story and the arrangement of events in a temporal order. The narrative construction theory of the self is the anti-modernism, the antiscientism and the anti-positivism. It is based on the social constructionism. People construct the narratives for the self. Their selves are constructed narratively. And selves are reconstructed by changing narratives. Changing narratives from the dominant narratives to the alternative ones leads to the self-reconstruction. However, the self is not reconstructed by changing narratives alone. The self-reconstruction needs the activization of the inner world. In the inner world, there is the inner-communication (self interaction) that comes from the outercommunication (social interaction). The inner-communication is made up of two processes, i.e., the indication process and the interpretation process. In their processes emerge inner-narratives and changes of self-narratives are brought about. That is the self-reconstruction through the narrative reconstruction. 88
