Autobiography, biography, narration: research practice for biographical perspectives

In: Biographical perspectives volume II

Abstract

The articles that make up this volume are related to the multidimensional aspects of the narrative- biographical research. Individual authors, positioning themselves between their source areas of knowledge (pedagogy, psychology, anthropology, sociology and literary studies) and a transdisciplinary auto/biographical research plane, pick up as their starting point the processual perspective of the socio-cultural world, whose central element is the active subject as the creator of his/her own biography. Such assumptions (expressed explicitly and implicitly) have provided the basis for reports on the Authors' own research projects and a framework for ordering the purely theoretical aspects of narrative-biographical studies
