| Summary: | This short piece which is written in the format of the notes from the field discusses plans to do life narratives and wisdom research among Turkish older adults. The starting point was a brief literature review of gerontology-related research in Turkey which will not be presented here due to space limitations. Secondly, the site and accordingly the sample of the anthropological study had to be decided. Thirdly, international gerontology-related research was reviewed to decide on theoretical discussions, methodology and conceptual tools to analyze the data. The notes conclude with a proposal for research in gero-narratology which is proposed to be the study of the structural and authorship properties of older adults’ narratives. |
