| Descripció: | For the development of qualitative social research, it is necessary to use the appropriate techniques and methods according to the subject under study. The testimony constitutes a qualitative research technique used for data collection and is derived from the biographical method. Either an author or a witness participates in the testimony, whose voice reflects their own experiences and could even involve an entire community. It is, then, a reconstruction of facts from self-recognition and alterity. Testimony is studied in order to identify what is plausible and what is fictional in a primarily oral narration, which will later be transferred to writing. This article aims to analyze the theoretical approach of John Beverley in relation to the testimony in the light of the text Me llamo Rigoberta Menchú y así me nació la conciencia. |
