Abstract

This paper reflects on the use of objects in qualitative interview methods. We consider the use of objects in “single” research events and in longitudinal designs. This leads us to consider how using objects in interviews situates in relation to time. Emphasizing the materiality of objects as well as how objects help to materialize events, experiences, and accounts, we explore what objects do and how we can practically work with objects, especially in qualitative longitudinal research. Objects in interviews do not simply afford representations or elicitations of participant stories, but become dynamic actors that enable interviews to speak materially. Using vignettes from a longitudinal study investigating experiences of COVID-19 in time, we hone our attention towards the temporal affordances of object methods. We conclude with a list of practical suggestions for using objects in qualitative longitudinal research.

纵向定性研究中的面向对象访谈

本文对定性访谈方法中对象的使用进行了反思。我们考虑了在 "单一 "研究活动和纵向设计中使用对象的问题。这促使我们思考在访谈中使用物品如何与时间相关联。我们强调对象的物质性，以及对象如何帮助将事件、经验和叙述具体化，探讨对象的作用，以及我们如何切实使用对象，尤其是在定性纵向研究中。访谈中的物品不仅仅是参与者故事的表征或诱导，而是使访谈能够以物质形式说话的动态角色。我们利用一项纵向研究中的小故事来调查 COVID-19 在时间上的体验，从而将注意力集中到对象方法在时间上的可承受性上。最后，我们提出了在纵向定性研究中使用对象的实用建议。
