    Life Narrative and Sensitive Life: What Ecology of Life Story ?

  • Description: Various adult education research studies have examined dimensions that may be omitted from autobiographical or biographical narratives. Recent work questions, for example, the capacity of life narratives to integrate the discrete and silent processes that evolve in day-to-day life and yet are involved in changes over the course of life. Others seek to account for and integrate into narratives the bodily experiences, the lived effects resulting from contact with the material and natural environment and thus to include in life stories the ecological dimensions of individual and collective existences.The problem identified by theses research concerns, in particular, the capacity of narratives to describe lived phenomena which have the specificity of being experienced above all, without being conscious of it. Micro-events, diffuse atmospheres, bodily sensations, tacit connivance with the environment, perceptions of the obvious... many dimensions of experience are simply experienced, without being reflected upon, thematised and narrated.How then, for the narrator, can he or she access the spheres of the tacit and the incorporated and thus grasp the sensitive experience in order to put it into discourse and integrate it into the life story? It is this question that organises the research that will be presented, the object of which is to expose a method and the phenomenological theory in which it is rooted, and the challenge of which is to integrate the dimensions relating to an ecology of sensitive life into biographical narratives.
