SICILIANI, Jose María; BARRIOS TAO, Hernando  and  CUESTA RIVAS, Joa. The biographical approach of Duccio Demetrio: Two fundamental aspects. Rev. Lasallista Investig. [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.2, pp.267-276. ISSN 1794-4449.  https://doi.org/10.22507/rli.v16n2a14.

The article examines the narrative thinking of Duccio Demetrio, founder of the Libera universitàdell'autobiografia, based in Anghiari, Italy. The paradoxical nature of autobiographical writing is studied as a cure for oneself, highlighting the theoretical affiliations that this narrative exercise involves. Then pedagogical reasons arise for which, according to Duccio Demetrio, autobiography especially is convenient as a pedagogical way in adult education. So two essential aspects of the narrative proposal of this intellectual and Italian pedagogue are highlighted: epistemological and pedagogical.

Keywords : narration; biography; education; pedagogy; adults' education.
