The author returns to his concrete, empirical and intuitive relationship with fieldwork, nourished by a culture of human and social sciences impregnated with anthropology and philosophy. The article first examines the modalities and limits of the interview and/or questionnaire survey based on the author’s seminal investigations in Afghanistan, arguing for a prolonged coexistence with the actors. It then examines the comparative and interpretive challenge that any change of case study represents for this immersive posture. The article then examines the methodological and ethical effects of surveys conducted in contexts of political violence. Finally, the relative value of quantitative and qualitative methods and the implications of this debate for the teaching of methods are discussed in light of research on religion.","PeriodicalId":38437,"journal":{"name":"BMS-Bulletin of Sociological Methodology-Bulletin de Methodologie Sociologique","volume":"76 1","pages":"25 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80703671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Understanding aspirations among Muslim youth in India through Sequential mixed-methods design","authors":"Aashti Salman","doi":"10.1177/07591063231160783","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/07591063231160783","url":null,"abstract":"This article is a note on the research methods employed during the author’s doctoral research on the topic of aspirations and social mobility in north-India. Looking into the question of employment based aspirations of youth from the minority Muslim community in Delhi, the article employs a mixed-methods approach. The research relies on an older qualitative work by the author in a segregated area in Delhi, on the same themes, to inform the questions of a quantitative study, based on the survey method. The results of the survey are enriched by adding depth and nuance through a follow up qualitative round, employing the life-history method. This article uses the concept ‘frustrated freedom’ developed in the context of Mozambique and Guatemala to analyse the results obtained from the mixed- methods design. The article argues that while aspirations and claims for upward mobility (or agency) of Muslim youth are high, despite consistent socio-economic and political marginalization of the community in India, their ability to achieve these aspirations remains low. This is primarily due to the limited opportunity structures available for them, particularly for the youth living in segregated spaces in Delhi.","PeriodicalId":38437,"journal":{"name":"BMS-Bulletin of Sociological Methodology-Bulletin de Methodologie Sociologique","volume":"36 1","pages":"167 - 200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85745457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Les deux premières passations de l’enquête statistique Epicov, l’une en mai 2020 et l’autre en novembre 2020, permettent de confronter la confiance exprimée à l’égard des pouvoirs publics avec les attitudes adoptées face aux contraintes du confinement et face à l’obligation du port du masque. Après avoir exposé les conditions et les indicateurs d’une mesure statistique des rapports aux institutions dans le cadre d’une enquête pluridisciplinaire, l’article explicite les déterminants sociaux de la confiance institutionnelle et montre qu’il n’existe pas de corrélation mécanique entre le rapport de confiance dans les institutions étatiques et la propension à se conformer aux règles qu’elles édictent. Alors que le respect des règles lors du premier confinement n’est pas lié à la confiance dans les pouvoirs publics, le respect du port du masque l’est davantage, dans la rue comme dans la sphère privée. L’article plaide donc pour une attention fine portée à la mise en catégorie statistique de la confiance, et met partiellement en cause la relation de causalité entre confiance dans les institutions et respect des injonctions.","PeriodicalId":38437,"journal":{"name":"BMS-Bulletin of Sociological Methodology-Bulletin de Methodologie Sociologique","volume":"4 1","pages":"91 - 115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83655675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prenant appui sur des enquêtes ethnographiques principalement réalisées aux niveaux micro et méso, cette recherche adopte une double focale centrée sur les pratiques professionnelles et les effets de contexte, pour saisir des processus de reproduction à l’échelle macro. Comment faire varier les niveaux d’analyse par l’enquête ethnographique ? Comment extraire des éléments macro à partir de données récoltées principalement au niveau micro ou méso ? Comment caractériser les relations entre ces différents niveaux d’analyse ? Pour répondre à ces questions, je propose d’abord un bref état de la littérature sur le travail bureaucratique et pose les bases d’une approche multiniveau de la street-level bureaucracy. Je reviens ensuite sur mes principaux choix méthodologiques, la trajectoire de mon enquête, ainsi que les techniques mises en œuvre pour analyser le matériau empirique. Enfin, je montre, sur la base des résultats de l’enquête, comment l’approche multiniveau permet de caractériser les liens micro-méso-macro en termes de couplage-découplage et de hiérarchiser les explications du travail bureaucratique.","PeriodicalId":38437,"journal":{"name":"BMS-Bulletin of Sociological Methodology-Bulletin de Methodologie Sociologique","volume":"11 1","pages":"37 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88700296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
