The focus of this paper is the narrative as a modality of phenomenological research according to Walter Benjamin’s conception. Using narratives, the author discusses the theoretical and methodological framework of phenomenology, based on heideggerian ontology and on the phenomenological and existential psychology. The purpose of this discussion is to demonstrate that experience, as a existential dimension of living, can be studied through narratives, a suitable technique for existential and phenomenological research.
