Méthodes et Savoirs2-7332-6006-5 Individuals experience a variety of different events throughout their life-course – birth, marriage, change of employment, school graduation, etc. – which sometimes occur in rapid succession, and whose timing and definition may seem unclear. Now that survey questionnaires are able to record individual trajectories in greater depth, changes of status can no longer be viewed simply as separate events, but involve a transition process of variable duration. The observation, modelling and interpretation of these fuzzy thresholds between two situations constitute a dynamic field of research in the social sciences. The authors of this manual have pooled their experience of event-history data collection to address the questions of “focus”, i.e. finding the right observation distance to grasp the complexity of life histories, and of time, i.e. choosing the right timescale of detailed information collection. After analysing the links between quantitative and qualitative data, addressing the distinction between facts and perceptions, and deconstructing analysis data categories, they offer a number of conceptual and methodological solutions. This study extends beyond the scope of specific examples to develop a major empirical approach in a still largely unexplored area. This book targets a much broader audience than the community of demographers alone. It concerns everyone in the field of social sciences who, at one moment or another, is required to organize data collection in the field, either for research or practical purposes. The Groupe de réflexion sur l’approche biographique (GRAB) brings together researchers and academics from a range of institutions (INED, IRD, CNRS, etc.) working in a variety of disciplines: demography, geography, sociology, economics, etc. It is building on the experience acquired through 25 event-history surveys conducted to date in France, Africa and Latin America.Demographyevent history analysismethodologytemporalitylife courseevent history analysismethodologytemporalitylife courseDemographyevent history analysismethodologytemporalitylife courseGRAB1331352Adjamagbo Agnès1284561Amétépé Fofo1290098Antoine Philippe387663Bajos Nathalie1290099Beauchemin Cris1290100Béguy Donatien1290101Binetou Dial Fatou1331353Bonvalet Catherine1225513Bozon Michel152128Brou Hermann1290103Calvès Anne E1331354Coubès Marie-Laure1290106Delaunay Daniel661137Desgrées du Loû Annabel1331355Diagne Alioune1290108Dureau Françoise435398Ferrand Michèle1290109Golaz Valérie1290110Kuépié Mathias1290111Lelièvre Éva414056Roubaud François280985Tichit Christine1290112Tijou-Traore Annick1290113Vivier Géraldine1290114FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910634090903321Fuzzy States and Complex Trajectories3040293UNINA
