Change and narration. The transformations of homosexuality in Buenos Aires according to the narratives of older homosexuals

The article examines narratives about the transformations of homosexuality by of gay male residents of Buenos Aires since 1983. Narratives inevitably involve an ethical assessment of what is recounted, thus transforming what was "really" lived. Techniques of narrative analysis were applied to those narratives in order to address a set of lay theories on homosexuality and social change. The narratives introduce not only factors change, but a scale of values about the state of things to which that change has lead.
