Abstract
The biographical reconstruction is a game of intersubjectivities that emerges essentially from the person and her testimony, either oral or written. Memory, identity and sociability are also devices from which there are to understand the potentialities and limitations of the oral and material documents of life, sources on which the biographical investigation is based. This paper is a didactic essay about how to make it.
