作为意义探究的深度访谈

Depth-interviewing as Meaning Exploring

本文着重从意义关联的角度讨论社会科学田野工作中的深度访谈法。从深度访谈的性质出发,本文尝试分析了与访谈有关的诸种意义体系,并讨论相关的访谈方法。本文主张,访谈既应当以“悬置”社会科学知识体系的态度进入现场,同时又要随时保持反省;访谈的过程应以日常生活及生活史的结构为结构,以发现问题,追究问题,最后再讨论个案的普遍性意义。在这种情况下,访谈将不仅仅是单纯搜集资料的过程,而已经成为研究的一个环节。

In this paper, the authors try to discuss the semi-structured depth interview in the sociological fieldwork. Beginning from the nature of depth interview, the authors want to clear up its meaning relationship and the correlative methods. The authors' point is that the interview should be constructed along with the structure of everyday life so that we can find and pursue the problems. Only after that, can we talk about the universal meaning of the individual case. In that case, depth interview is not only the pure course of collecting data, but also one part of the study.
