Abstract
Is "dialogue" a possibly effective method to understand and show the inner realities constantly changing in relation with other people? In this paper, I describe a methodological development behind the presentation for the Oral History Forum, showing my experiences between educational practice fields and research practice fields. Observations in the former tell that the process of "recovering energy" for the students is related to some "dialogues" between interpersonal and intertemporal realities, which led them to a new perspective. The key to develop "dialogues" is their "stubborn question" based on their own experiences. I adopt this method to analyze and interpret the narratives of a mother and her daughter who have experiences as victims of political violence in Spain. This has illuminated a history of the women though three generations.
