Our Lives as Database: Doing a Sociology of Ourselves: Czech Social Transitions in Autobiographical Research Dialogues

Overview

This book is a collection of studies on "auto-biographical research." It consists of factual sociological analyses, as well as more theoretical or methodological studies. All texts originated in sequence with an experimental research project, where eight Czech sociologists worked together within 1991-1995, writing and interpreting their own biographies. The participants were joined by their common interest in "normal life in abnormal conditions" in the period of state socialism. The book has been published in Czech and English.
