CO-CONSTRUCT BIOGRAPHICAL NARRATIVES WITH YOUNG STUDENTS. SUBJECTIVE EFFECTS OF THE BIOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH APPROACH

Abstract

In this article, we present the results of a research aimed to understand how subjects manage their double status of young people and high school students in a school of Córdoba, Argentina. From an interpretative-qualitative paradigm, we used the life story technique of the biographical approach and we worked with five young people who were finishing high school. We note that the experience of co-constructing their biographical stories generated identity, reflective and bonding effects in young participants, with specifically institutional resonances and in our role as researchers as well. We also delve into the ethical considerations involved and the importance of recognizing the imbrication between intervention and research within the psychosocial field.

Keywords:
