BLANCO, Mercedes. Investigación narrativa: una forma de generación de conocimientos. Argumentos (Méx.) [online]. 2011, vol.24, n.67, pp.135-156. ISSN 0187-5795.

The aim of the article is to contribute to the diffusion of a field of study within the qualitative perspective in social sciences named narrative inquiry. Apart from pointing out its origins, development and its innovative aspects within the social sciences landscape in the first decade of the millennium, two examples of this modality are offered; they constitute, in a certain way, a hybrid that has been nurtured, among other influences, by some elements that are used in life stories as well as in autobiographical writings. The topic the personal narratives deal with is limited historically as well as socially; its focus is on the family vacations on the second half of the twentieth century. More specifically, they talk about childhood experiences of women that form part of a generation, those born in the first half of the 1950s in Mexico City, and that are considered as middle class; this way, the intersection already essential in many researches between gender, class and generation, is taken into consideration.
