Abstract

For most folklorists, life histories are considered as one of the principal means of obtaining data about the social world. The paper will examine the various manipulations of the transcribed narratives and question the objectivity of such a method. A shift in perspectives will be proposed by considering personal narratives as fieldwork narrative events. The consequences in orientation are reflected on the aims of the research itself. Aims other than collecting data will be suggested.
