Annotation
This article considers aspects of the process of recalling one’s subjectivity and body in different experiential levels in oral history interviews of elderly women in Finland. It discusses this dialogical process, including the dimension of gender, from the phenomenological point of view, especially philosophy and feminist Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological interpretations combined with experiential and narrative analysis.
