Hilos y tejido. Palabras y narración en salud

ABSTRACT: In this paper I present the gnoseological, ontological, epistemological and methodological foundations of an Autobiographical Narrative Research (ANR) approach grounded on Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutical phenomenology. It is a novel proposal for the field of narrative research on health, and is characterized by the following traits:1) Conversational interviews represent an appropriate route for building “good stories”, preserving a fair exercise of memory; ii) An autobiography is the result of the singular memory of remembrances, silences and forgotten events interwoven with other memories from contemporaries, predecessors and successors; iii) Interpretation, which is displayed in the “Hermeneutical arch”, is carried out through the triple mimesis of the account, namely: Mimesis 1 or prefiguration, which provides pre-understanding of the narrated actions; Mimesis 2 or configuration, which explains how the story was built and answers the question: what does this tale tell?; and Mimesis 3 or re-figuration, which specifies where this narration is going, i.e. what new world opens up?; iv) The story reveals the identity of the narrator, who appears before others as a being in motion, unique and singular; likewise, it provides, from practical wisdom and the moral judgment present in the situation, a rational narrative that is beyond the theoretical and rational use of reason and science. The ANR provides, as an ethical and political challenge, new knowledge and thinking built with the narrators' own voices by means of the comprehension of meanings of experiences related to health and life experiences.
