The national framework in international migration: continued importance in times of constant challenges
Quelle: Zeitschrift für Qualitative Forschung, 15 (2014) 1-2, S 147-162
Inhalt: 
"By analyzing issues of citizenship and asylum policies in a French-German context, this article shows in how far 'national belonging' as a category remains relevant in both social research and social reality. Discussing critically the notion of declining relevance of the concept of 'nation' in recent academic contributions, the aim of this article is to provide empirical cases which underline the continuance of the analytical categories of nation and national belonging for social research. Referring in particular to the traditional antagonism of the German 'ethnic' and the French 'political' understanding of nation and national belonging, this article argues that supra-national forces such as the EU or the partial permeability of national borders to immigration flows have a strong impact on the self-definition of these national societies. With their methodological consequences for the use of 'nation' as a concept in the social sciences, these political and social changes illustrate that 'nation' cannot be seen as a hermeneutic and unchangeable category of societal life. In this context, the authors interpret the reform of the German citizenship law in 2000 as a significant shift towards an open political society - in contrast to an ethnic understanding. According to the authors, nation and national belonging become particularly relevant in the definition of and struggle over citizenship, i.e. is this national institution inclusive or exclusive vis-à-vis immigrants? The analysis of the French and the German asylum-procedure shows that national belonging is a highly significant element in the treatment of asylum claims." (author's abstract)

Ups and downs of teaching the biographical approach
Titelübersetzung:Höhen und Tiefen in der Lehre der Biographieforschung
Quelle: Zeitschrift für Qualitative Forschung, 11 (2010) 2, S 183-195
Inhalt: 
"Als Wissenschaftlerin und Forscherin, die den biographischen Ansatz lehrt und anwendet, hat die Autorin nicht nur viele professionelle Erfahrungen gewonnen, es haben sich auch viele Zweifel eingestellt, die sie in diesem Aufsatz präsentiert. Im Anschluss an ihre einleitenden Bemerkungen wird sie den biographischen Ansatz als eine spezifische Perspektive zur Analyse der gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit vorstellen, bevor sie ein stereotypenhaftes Bild dieser Forschungsrichtung diskutiert und es mit der Perspektive einer Wissenschaftlerin konfrontiert, die die diesen Ansatz anwendet. In dieser Reflexion bezieht sie sich auch auf ihre Versuche und Erfahrungen in der Lehre. Im letzten Abschnitt geht es um einige Schwierigkeiten und Probleme im Ausbildungsprozess. Die Autorin wird Fragen stellen, aber sich noch keine endgültigen Antworten zutrauen." (Autorenreferat)

Inhalt: "Being a scholar and researcher teaching and using the biographical approach the author has gained not only professional experience but also lots of doubts which he will present in this paper. After her introductory remarks she will begin by introducing the biographical approach as a specific perspective of analyzing social reality. Then she will discuss a stereotypical image of biographical research and try to contrast it with the perspective of a scholar who uses the biographical approach. This reflection is accompanied by references to her teaching attempts and experiences. In the last section she will point out some difficulties and problems related to the teaching process. The author poses questions to reflect on the issue, though he dares not to give final answers." (author's abstract)
