"54 The text remains a recapitulation of experience, into which elements of interpreta­ tion have been gradually incorporated over time .55T hese elements of interpretation are part of the ever-changing life world and demand an explanation. Despite this we remain interested in the 'real' situation in the past. Comparison with other sources and with the scholarly literature is therefore indispensable. In the analysis of important points in the interviews, the following questions in particular were taken from Rosenthal's method of so-called reconstructive case anal­ ysis and put to the text :56 1. Why is this topic introduced at this point? 2. Why is this topic presented in this text genre (argument, description or narrative)? 3. Why is this topic presented in such detail or so briefly? 4. What are the possible thematic fields into which this topic fits? 5. Which topics (life areas or life stages) are addressed and which are not? Individual moments of the life history may indeed, according to Rosenthal's method, be contrasted in their narrated and allegedly experienced form.
