摘要

本文讨论了俄罗斯流散家庭定性研究中的理论和方法挑战。它的关键论点是,民族氛围和家庭美学是研究者和参与者通过共同的地方感知共同创造的,这一过程既有优势,也有局限性。具体来说,这篇文章探讨了“俄罗斯性”的概念,它被定义为让人有“宾至如归”感觉的材料和感官元素的集合。更重要的是,这种“在(一个俄罗斯)家”的感觉以及与之相关的氛围不仅可以由居住在那里的人体验到,而且可以让游客直观地认识到装饰的元素和对象,以及作为俄罗斯文化一部分的家庭环境。采访情境有助于揭示和限制物品和故事的意义,然后构成现有氛围的一部分。本文以先前对俄罗斯移民家庭的研究为例,辅以研究者的自我反思,探讨家庭感官维度的问题本质,以及在理论和方法上接近它的挑战。本文的调查与社会学研究中结合不同学习和认识方式的重要性的论点一致(Smart, 2011),旨在更批判性和创造性地参与研究背景。

Defining the Russian Diasporic Home and Its Atmospheres: Theoretical Challenges and the Methodological Implications
This article discusses the theoretical and methodological challenges in the qualitative research of Russian diasporic homes. Its key argument is that a sense of ethnic atmosphere and domes-tic aesthetics is co-created by the researcher and the participant through their shared percep-tions of place in a process that has both advantages and limitations. Specifically, the article looks into the idea of “Russianness,” which is defined as a collection of material and sensory elements that make one feel “at home.” More importantly, this feeling of being “at (a Russian) home” and the atmospheres related to it can not only be experienced by those who live there, but also by its visitors who intuitively recognize the elements and objects of decor, and the domestic environment as being part of Russian culture. The interview situation helps to both reveal and to limit the meanings of the objects and of the stories which then constitute part of the existing atmosphere. Using examples from the previous study of Russian migrants’ homes and complemented by the researcher’s self-reflection, this article will explore the problematic nature of sensory dimension of home, and the challenges in approaching it both theoretically and methodologically. The article’s enquiry is aligned with the argument of the importance of combining different ways of learning and knowing in sociological research (Smart, 2011), and aims to engage with the research context more critically and creatively.
