@misc{Niedbalski_Jakub_Location_2017, author={Niedbalski, Jakub}, abstract={The article raises the notions pertaining to the process of reconstruction of ego and identity of a disabled person, on the basis of a narration related to experiences connected with sports activity. There is also an attempt made to highlight common points between interpretative paradigm theories, especially the symbolic interactionism and stories (narrations), which make the basis of reconstruction of experiences (research method), and actions of an individual, i.e. sport practicing. Hence, the paper will demonstrate a dependency between a theory, a method and the research area (subject of studies), which prove paradigmatic cohesion and coherence. The purpose of the article is to present a possibility of application of the narration approach to the research over changes in the manner of perceiving self and one’s own situation by the physically disabled practicing sports. Thus, the author is willing to draw attention to the manner, in which sports practicing supports the process of transformations and reconstruction in the manner of defining self by a disabled person, including presentation of turning points, transformation of status and phases of change.}, type={rozdział}, publisher={Wydawnictwo im.
