ALVAREZ VARGAS, Cristina  y  AMADOR BAQUIRO, Juan Carlos. Family Stories. An Extended Framework of Life Stories. Folios [online]. 2017, n.46, pp.29-39. ISSN 0123-4870.

This paper inquires about what the family story approach (Bertaux, 1995; Miller, 2007) is and how it was used in a doctoral research entitled "Upbringing experiences in armed conflict contexts in Colombia. The text describes the point of view of this approach in contemporary discussions on qualitative research and its epistemological-methodological articulation. Then, it shows the relationship between this method and the biographical-narrative tradition of social research. After that, it explains how the approach emerged from what Bertaux (1995) calls family stories in his Commented and Compared Social Genealogies. Later, it describes the conceptual and procedural criteria of family stories from Miller's approach (2007). Finally, it includes some examples from the doctoral research illustrating how the method is used.

Palabras clave : family stories; qualitative research; biographical-narrative approaches; narrative; armed conflict.
