Usos de las narrativas, epistemologías y metodologías: Aportes para la investigación

Abstract

Since the 80's we have witnessed the emergence of the use of narrative in qualitative research. In this book seeks to present some epistemological assumptions that allow researchers to understand the conceptual postulates in this field. For this, from the philosophy Authors such as Aristotle and Ricoeur will allow the narrative to be situated as a source of understanding of human experience. In addition, to present the place of narrative in understanding of virtues and vices, the figure of the narrator, in the works of Benjamin, Todorov and Arendt, reveals the silence and the ruins of the community resulting from wars and armed conflicts. These conceptual journeys are accompanied with the presentation of methodologies for research of a hermeneutic nature.
