ESTUDIS I RECERQUES
Paula Escobar Muro
Abstract
In this article we use the life stories technique to study culture and education as personal
tools of resistance and liberation. Throughout the text, we carry out a theoretical exploration of the
topic and reflect on the pedagogic value of life stories. We make a hermeneutic analysis of a person’s
life story. The results suggest that culture and education are paths of resistance and liberation for
people if they promote critical reflection. The findings encourage us to continue asking ourselves
about how to deploy educational transformation processes able to respond to contemporary social
problems
