Biografie ? Lebenslauf ? Generation

de Olaf Dörner, Henning Pätzold, Bernhard Schmidt-Hertha

People interpret their biographies in order to give them a subjective meaning. In institutionalized biographies, biographies also become normatively charged patterns of progress. They reflect the tension between life courses and culturally and socially shaped generalized patterns of life-style. The volume collects selected peer-reviewed contributions on this topic.
