Résumé
Dix-huit récits de vie ont été analysés afin de vérifier si les thèmes de l’identité narrative et les archétypes narratifs permettent de les contraster selon la présence évidente ou non de la résilience chez les jeunes adultes. Les thèmes de l’identité narrative sont des repères utiles pour cerner les trajectoires émergeant du récit des jeunes adultes. Compte tenu de leur proximité théorique, nous examinons si les concepts se recoupent et s’alimentent l’un l’autre dans les récits. Notons que chaque récit, bien qu’il porte sur l’ensemble de l’histoire de l’individu, est raconté à un moment précis, où différents enjeux peuvent nuire momentanément à l’expression de la résilience.

Abstract
This exploratory study analyzes 18 emerging adults’ narrative to verify whether themes from narrative identity theory (redemption, agency, communion, etc.) and narrative story arcs were helpful in contrasting the presence or the absence of resilience in life-stories. Results indicate that both narrative arcs and narrative identity themes were useful concepts to delineate resilient trajectories from those where resiliency is not obvious. Given their conceptual proximity, we discussed how resiliency, narrative identity and narrative arcs intersect and feed one another. Practical use of the narratives to generate resilience are highlighted. Authors are mindful of the fact that narratives, even though they recount the whole life-story of the participant, are told at a specific time where various issues may hinder the expression of resiliency.
