contents Telling stories about story-tellers Tomás Ibáñez Lupicinio Iñiguez Sociología narratives reflexivity social constructionism There are people who leave us with a text as their legacy. Their text. Sometimes it is a masterpiece, or a huge amount of work, a fertile and essential one. But there are people who leave us with something more, too: their words, their life. Rex Stainton-Rogers is one of them. An excessive, brilliant, entrepreneur, alive human being. His words are our inheritance. His legacy are some of the most relevant social scientists from the new, emergent, generation, mostly in Great Britain, who are people trained, formed, by this exceptional character. His work, beyond the texts we´ve inherited, consisted on showing us life, truly the laboratory where knowledge is really given shape. So, those who shared with him a piece of his life, have had the privilege of being in contact with what makes knowledge passionate, what makes it useful, what which intoxicates you with pleasure. Rex died in February 1999 as he lived, free and splendid. A year later, her companion, Wendy Stainton-Rogers, organised a symposium to celebrate him, his life and his words with some of the people who owe the most to Rex life. Here you have the contribution we made that day. 2002 artículo científico 1578-8946 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=53700105 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=537 Athenea Digital.
