Resumo: | Analyzing biographies is a main field of qualitative social research that studies individuals' sense- making in regard to transitions and life projects. The paper presents concepts for linking the macro- social and micro-social levels in life course analysis. First, the concept of status passage is reviewed, with a focus on social structure, institutions, and biography. Second, the concept of self- socialization is introduced, highlighting the notion of the biographical actor. Third, recent elaborations of the concept of agency in life course research are discussed. Fourth, two examples of qualitative longitudinal research are presented: one on occupational careers, another on the process of family formation. Finally, methodological implications are sketched |
