This article proposes the concept of implicit narrative as an analytic tool that helps to articulate how cultural models of narrative sense-making steer us to certain patterns of experience, discourse, and interaction, and the concept of narrative agency as an analytic tool for theorizing and evaluating the processes in which we navigate our narrative environments, which consist of a range of implicit narratives. As a touchstone for developing these theoretical concepts, which serve not only narrative studies but also overlapping fields such as memory studies and cultural studies, the article analyzes the implicit cultural narrative that has most strongly dominated public discourse on the coronavirus pandemic: the narrative of war. Thereby, the article also contributes to the analysis of pandemic storytelling and its effects on us, as the cultural memory of the pandemic is currently taking shape and affecting our orientation to the future.

隐性叙事和叙事代理

本文提出了隐性叙事的概念作为一种分析工具，有助于阐明叙事意义建构的文化模式如何引导我们走向某些经验、话语和互动模式，以及叙事代理的概念作为理论化和理解的分析工具。评估我们驾驭叙事环境的过程，其中包括一系列隐性叙事。作为发展这些理论概念的试金石，这些理论概念不仅服务于叙事研究，还服务于记忆研究和文化研究等重叠领域，本文分析了在冠状病毒大流行中最强烈主导公共话语的隐性文化叙事：战争叙事。因此，这篇文章也有助于分析流行病故事讲述及其对我们的影响，
