COVID-19-Pandemie, biografisch-narrative Interviewführung, digitale Online-Interviews, emotionale Reflexivität, situierte affektive BegegnungenAbstract
Vor der COVID-19-Pandemie wurden biografisch-narrative Interviews in der Regel in vertrauten Situationen in Präsenz geführt. In der Pandemie auferlegte Lockdowns und Abstandsregeln zwangen jedoch viele Forscher*innen dazu, digitale Tools für die Interviewführung zu nutzen. In diesem Artikel gebe ich einen selbstreflexiven, autoethnografischen Einblick in meinen Forschungsprozess während der COVID-19-Pandemie. Ich setze mich mit den Herausforderungen auseinander, denen ich mich bei der Durchführung von biografisch-narrativen Interviews sowohl vor Ort als auch digital stellen musste. Dabei konzentriere ich mich auf die Diskussion der affektiven und emotionalen Dimension des Forschungsprozesses, der stark von einer allgemeinen Atmosphäre der Angst (TRIGG 2022), die durch die Pandemie entstand, beeinflusst wurde, und schlage für den Umgang hiermit in Anlehnung an (HOLMES 2015) das Konzept der "emotionalen Reflexivität" vor. Darüber hinaus plädiere ich für eine epistemologische Untersuchung der Chancen und Probleme, die sich aus der Durchführung digitaler, biografisch-narrativen Interviews ergeben können. Damit möchte ich zu einer empirisch fundierten methodologischen Diskussion der affektiven und emotionalen Grundlagen und der unterschiedlichen Arten der Durchführung solcher Interviews beitragen.
