This book is focused on a narrative way of knowledge. It chooses life history as a qualitative research method. It starts contextualising life history through a biographical narrative methodology. First, in its immediate paradigm – qualitative – and more specifically, critic or emancipating research. Then, it describes the diverse ways of carrying out narrative research, its significance, and its use. The book focuses only on life history research method. It dedicates one section to questions of interest when researching with narrative: How many life stories? Is the consent really informed? The relational dialectics? How
do we transcribe? Subject or participants?
Later, using a paradigmatic and narrative perspective, it describes different instruments that can be used to collect the information from the life stories: biographic interview, interview of other informants, self-report, a day in the life of, lifeline, and photography. The book ends with a section about research ethics. It addresses approaches referred to ethic issues to keep in mind before, during, and after the research.
On the whole, a book with a theoretical-practical approach that aims to answer questions that people who are interested in this methodology might have or have had when researching with life history method. It will be truly helpful to undertake new researches with these characteristics.
