Drawing on data from a life history study of a small group of men who have suffered spinal cord injury and become disabled through playing sport, this article explores the meanings of hope in their lives. It focuses upon the life stories of 14, white, predominantly working-class men, aged 26-51. The most common kinds of hope used by the men were shaped by three powerful narrative types that circulate in Western cultures. These were 'concrete hope' (the most common form), shaped by the restitution narrative; 'transcendent hope', shaped by the quest narrative; and 'despair' or loss of any kind of hope, shaped by the chaos narrative. The implications of this dynamic process for their identity reconstruction as disabled men are considered.
本文借鉴了一项针对一小群因运动导致脊髓损伤并致残的男性的生活史研究数据，探讨了希望在他们生活中的意义。它聚焦于14名年龄在26至51岁之间、白人、主要为工人阶级男性的生活故事。这些男性所使用的最常见的希望类型是由西方文化中流传的三种强大叙事类型塑造的。它们分别是“具体希望”（最常见的形式），由恢复叙事塑造；“超越希望”，由探索叙事塑造；以及“绝望”或任何形式希望的丧失，由混乱叙事塑造。本文还考虑了这一动态过程对他们作为残疾男性身份重建的影响。
