摘要

当涉及到以参与者的母语以外的语言进行定性研究时，所涉及的决策过程往往没有得到充分解决。本文通过对32名60岁及以上的墨西哥女性的研究，解决了双语新手研究人员和/或有抱负的博士候选人在指导方面的重大差距，讨论了在进行汽车/传记研究时在语言之间转换的复杂性。它还探讨了研究者自己作为局内人/局外人的地位，以及这些问题如何影响研究成果和知识生产。它特别强调了研究人员和西班牙语-英语翻译的双重角色，并提供了关于跨语言措辞选择和口译的方法决定的详细信息。最后，本文认为跨语言研究人员需要系统地解决所涉及的独特翻译问题，并明确在参与者的自传/传记被分析，撰写和出版的语言之间迁移的困境和后果。

Auto/biographical research on old Mexican women: a methodological and reflexive account

Abstract When it comes to presenting qualitative research in a language other than the participants’ native language the decision-making processes involved are not often fully addressed. Drawing on research with 32 Mexican women aged 60 and over and addressing a significant gap in guidance available to bilingual novice researchers and/or aspiring Ph.D. candidates, this article discusses the complexities of shifting between languages while conducting auto/biographical research. It also explores the researcher’s own positionality as insider/outsider and how these issues impact the research outcomes and knowledge production. It particularly highlights the dual role as researcher and Spanish–English translator and provides details about the methodological decisions undertaken regarding wording selection and interpretation across languages. Ultimately, this article contends that cross-language researchers need to systematically address the unique translation issues involved and make explicit the dilemmas and consequences of moving between languages in which participants’ auto/biographies are analysed, written-up and published.

期刊介绍： Quality and Quantity constitutes a point of reference for European and non-European scholars to discuss instruments of methodology for more rigorous scientific results in the social sciences. In the era of biggish data, the journal also provides a publication venue for data scientists who are interested in proposing a new indicator to measure the latent aspects of social, cultural, and political events. Rather than leaning towards one specific methodological school, the journal publishes papers on a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative data. Furthermore, the journal’s key aim is to tackle some methodological pluralism across research cultures. In this context, the journal is open to papers addressing some general logic of empirical research and analysis of the validity and verification of social laws. Thus The journal accepts papers on science metrics and publication ethics and, their related issues affecting methodological practices among researchers. Quality and Quantity is an interdisciplinary journal which systematically correlates disciplines such as data and information sciences with the other humanities and social sciences. The journal extends discussion of interesting contributions in methodology to scholars worldwide, to promote the scientific development of social research.
