GRANADOS, Luis Fernando; ALVARADO, Sara Victoria  and  CARMONA, Jaime. Narratives and Resilience Life Stories as a Methodological Mediation to Rebuild the Wounded Existence. CES Psicol [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.1, pp.4-20. ISSN 2011-3080.  https://doi.org/10.21615/cesp.10.1.1.

This paper establishes a dialogue between the resilience and the narrative perspective, from an approach to life stories as a qualitative methodological mediation of particular significance. It aims to read comprehensively what happens to subjects when they relate life-telling stories, recognizing that lighting the human fact as a subjective construction involves the capability to relate one’s life, permeated by borderline experiences. Attention is focused in life experiences as mediation, and their signification is in consideration for resilience research. The method was based on a documentary review, and a categorical analysis, searching for theoretical and methodological elements that strengthen resilience research from the narrative approach.

Keywords : Resilience; Narratives; Qualitative Mediation; Biographical Method; Autobiographical Method; Life Stories; Stories of Life; Adversity.
