Abstract
GUICHARD, Eduardo et al. Subjective reconstruction of lifetimes in Chile. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2013, vol.75, n.4, pp.617-646. ISSN 2594-0651.
In the life course, there are events that mark individual trajectories and are used by people as references for the reconstruction of their own biography: turning points. In this study, Chileans from five age groups were asked to name major turning points in their lives in order to observe the subjective reconstruction of their existence. The results show that Chileans mainly reconstruct their biographies around issues such as family, deaths, profession and education.
Keywords : life course; turning point; transition; subjectivity; Chile.
