Nach herkömmlichem Verständnis werden mit Biographien primär die individuellen bzw. intrasubjektiven Sektoren einer Persönlichkeit in ihren chronologischen Bezügen erschlossen. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt, daß Biographien wie Autobiographien darüber hinaus auch Datenmaterial für intersubjektiv relevante Aussagen liefern können.

'Having been a supporting programme in literature, historiography, and pedagogics for a long time, the biography has gradually turned out to be a domain of the social sciences. After a spontaneous prelude on the Polish sociological scene, the biographical technique was developed at the school of Chicago after World War I. When being revived in the sixties, the method has now been enriched with a certain theoretical equipment, and in the last decades, it became engaged in scientific exploration of collective biographies, in professional tests of applicants, and in social advice to young people. In this article there are presented different examples of applied biographical research demonstrating the methodical evolution towards a computer aided analysis and the approach of quantitative and qualitative proceedings. There also is discussed the arsenal of the empirical and historical techniques being mostly used by the biographical method of today.' (author's abstract)... view less
