<br/><br/> Over thirty years of bootlegging in the learned world of the practice of life histories has afforded the author a longitudinal view that is more objectively informed on the nature and effects of this movement. This is what this article attempts in comparing the publication and republication, thirty years apart, of an inaugural book on current research training in life histories as a formative teacher of existence, namely Produire sa vie: Autoformation et autobiographie by Gaston Pineau and Marie-Michèle. This research aimed to initiate a partnership approach and interactive autobiographical research on the self. This launched a threefold socio-personal narrative and anthropo-formative adventure. Effects in the medium and long term of this threefold adventure are studied based on the intellectual tracks left by the two co-authors over the past thirty years.
