Abstract:

The use of narratives is increasingly frequent in qualitative inquiry looking forward the comprehension of different experiences and points of view in a given context. Starting from an hermeneutic conception, it is discussed the construction of narrative text in mental health research by rescuing traditions that address the narrative – the philosophy of Paul Ricoeur, the historical perspective in Walter Benjamin and the field of medical anthropology born form the phenomenology. In Ricoeur, having hermeneutics as a variation born from the phenomenology the narrative is linked to temporality. In Benjamin, the narrative, always unconcluded, made of remains and fragments, emerge as an insurgence of official history. If Ricoeur takes from Gadamer the tradition as a fundamental component for the construction of a text’s world that makes possible life’s imitation, Benjamin, behind the falling of the tradition, shows the invention of narratives’ shapes outside the traditional canons, enabling the past recall in order to change the present. Assumptions of medical anthropology are also exhibited, as they consider the narrative as a dimension of life and no an abstraction, an embodied and placed narrative. Finally these streams are connected to concrete application in three researches in the public health field aiming to show its value.
