EL RELATO-MEMORIA EN LOS ESTUDIOS DE FAMILIA.

This teoric reflection paper deals with narrative research as its main objet, concerning methodological considerations in research which generated this reflection. On one hand the bibliography regarding the subject of narrative is used, on the other hand the experience of the students involve in this study. The findings of this study show that the accounts allow a deep exploration in a family context within a trouble country, with large social, political and economical divisions. The reflection is based on a research carried out with the students of the Desarrollo Familiar program at the Universidad de Caldas, Manizales (Colombia), and they go to a dialogue with them about the investigative process, so this article has three sources: basic research, the bibliography on narratives and memory and the dialogue with students.
