Intentional undiscussibility involves deliberately concealing facts, while unintentional undiscussibility arises when facts are unverifiable. This study explores navigating these difficult discourses and their social impact.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Hermeneutics

Background:

  • Daily discourse often involves intentional or unintentional undiscussibility, where certain facts are deliberately omitted or their occurrence is uncertain.
  • Intentional undiscussibility aims to conceal verifiable events, posing challenges for biographical reconstruction.
  • Unintentional undiscussibility involves unverifiable events, leading to doubt and complex social dynamics.

Observation:

  • The paper analyzes the paradoxical nature of intentional undiscussibility and the difficulties in addressing it.
  • A case study of a German woman navigating family undiscussibility illustrates social reactions to reconstructing unverifiable 'feeling-facts'.
  • The research contrasts psychoanalytic narrative analysis with constructivist hermeneutic approaches.

Findings:

  • Intentional undiscussibility presents unique challenges due to the deliberate concealment of verifiable information.
  • When facts are unverifiable, social reactions and biographical reconstruction become complex, particularly concerning 'feeling-facts'.
  • The study highlights the interplay between individual narrative construction and social verification processes.

Implications:

  • Understanding undiscussibility is crucial for therapeutic and social contexts involving trauma and historical memory.
  • The findings offer insights into how individuals and societies grapple with difficult pasts and unverifiable experiences.
  • This research bridges psychoanalytic and hermeneutic perspectives on narrative and truth-telling.
