“…Mankowski and Rappaport (2000) argue that a narrative approach is particularly suited to describe and analyse spirituallybased communities because religious communities are full of narrative (biblical text, legacy or personal sharing) used to guide and shape the individual and collective lives, and for religious purposes. Collective identity and cohesion are high while the narratives are well developed and communicated very explicitly.…”

“…Murray, , 2003. It is considered especially important to gain a subjective perspective and to understand and explain social and psychological phenomena that span the different levels of analysis (Andrews, Sclater, Rustin, Squire, & Treacher, 2000;Atkinson, 1998;Mankowski & Rappaport, 2000;Salzer, 1998). Murray (2003) argues that we live in a storied world and that we interpret the actions of others and ourselves through the stories we exchange.…”

“…Whatever nomenclature one uses, it is agreed that by detailed documentation and analysis of the personal story and narrative within the community, the researcher not only understands the meaning making process and the psychological world of persons, but also can realize the social reality and context of a given situation (Andrews, et al, 2000;Atkinson, 1998;Mankowski & Rappaport, 2000;M. Murray, 2003).…”

“…Maton (2000) argues that a narrative approach can provide information about the culture of the setting, its impact on members, and the mechanisms by which the different settings exert influence over members. Therefore, a narrative approach can capture the reciprocal relationship between individuals and society and the multi-layers of analysis of a phenomenon (Mankowski & Rappaport, 2000;Rappaport, 1995;Salzer, 1998).…”

While the literature demonstrates that the relationship between religion and wellbeing is generally positive, detailed information about the context where the religion is based is rarely given. Drawing on multi-dimensional perspectives of spirituality, the present study regards spirituality as an integral dimension of a person's religious beliefs, practices and experiences within a given context. The manifestation of spirituality can be viewed from personal, interpersonal and social dimensions. The primary objective of the study is to examine whether, how and why the spirituality and religious community of Protestant tradition can affect the well-being of people in the context of Hong Kong.In the first phase of the study, 324 Chinese from four Protestant communities, representing four major kinds of Protestant spirituality, and one non-religious comparison group in Hong Kong were recruited. MANOVA results showed that religious community exerted a significant impact on people's spirituality and sense of community, which enhance their well-being -manifested in life satisfaction, social trust and civic participation. The different religious contexts exhibited different dimensions of spirituality and well-being, suggesting that the impact is not only direct but also dependent on and intertwined with the religious setting. Path analyses demonstrated the complex relationship between spirituality and well-being variables. While some of the spirituality-related variables may directly predict civic participation, the relationship between such variables and life satisfaction and social trust are mainly mediated through mental health and sense of community.The second phase of the study incorporated a field study (participant observation, interview and documentary analysis). Activity setting analysis was used as the interpretive framework, to unpack the elements of the various religious settings and to identify the present and absent conditions that help explain the variety and diversity of well-being outcomes manifested in the survey section. The data showed that immediate religious settings affect people's emotions, cognitions and behavioural patterns, through relational, ideational and even material aspects of the social environment, which finally lead to various kinds of well-being. Results also demonstrate that not only may the different religious settings enhance different kinds of well-being, but that they also provide different pathways to enhance a certain kind of well-being. These findings iii suggest that religious impacts on people's well-being are diverse and intricate. The present study thus confirms the important role of religion in people's well-being, but further signifies the intricate relationship between the various dimensions of religion and well-being. Moreover, when studying the effects of religion, both the subjective and the community context of a person's spirituality cannot be overlooked when drawing any conclusion on the costs and benefits of religion. iv v

“…Kuna identiteedi loomist ja taasloomist saadavad hinnangute ja üldistustega täiendatud narratiivid, mis Eric Mankowski ja Julian Rappaporti järgi moodustavad mälu, teadmiste ja kommunikatsiooni peamise konstituendi, on adapteerumisprotsessi jälgitud narratiivide vahendusel. Jutustusi saab kasutada, mõistmaks personaalset ja sotsiaalset identiteeti, samuti on võimalik jälgida, kuidas jutustamine on kaasatud mälestustele ning isiklike ja sotsiaalsete teadmiste vormidele raamistust looma ja neid edasi kandma (Mankowski & Rappaport 2000). Uurimisainesena vahendavad narratiivid eeskätt isiklikke kogemusi (lived experiences) ja on olemuselt lähedased suulistele eluloojutustustele, folkloristlikele isikujuttudele ning kasutavad traditsiooniliste jutuliikide vormi ja sisu.…”

Although many studies have examined lived experiences of racism and resistance in various contexts, relatively little research has examined such experiences among Black youth within the workplace-particularly in the Canadian context. In this study I use qualitative analyses of narrative interviews with 24 Black Canadian youth and young adults (aged 16-35) to examine the impact of dominant cultural narratives on lived experiences of workplace racism and resistance. Findings are presented using theatrical games as a central conceptual metaphor, suggesting that: (a) dominant cultural narratives have a major impact on relational dynamics of oppression in the workplace; (b) identity performance is a critical strategy for negotiating dominant cultural narratives in the workplace; and (c) panopticism (the internalized gaze) is a significant aspect of internalized oppression. Implications for future research and action are discussed.
