Abstract

Within a global approach embrazing both individual and collective processes memory
emerges as a key point. Memory resumes past, present and future and affects the development
of gender identities. Within a network of time, space and power the body emerges as an
articulating element in the sensory dimension of remembering. We can reach it through four
structuring points of the biography: stepping stones, intersections, articulations and interstices. I have been inspired by Ira Progroff's methodology who combines the journal with inner
dialogues.
