摘要
该文从社会学角度展现个性化的学术研究心得,以作者数年从事"田野"研究工作的实例,讨论"田野"经验与日常生活逻辑以及与理论和方法之间的关系。经验与理论之间存在一个中间环节即日常生活逻辑,需要深入探讨和揭示。日常生活逻辑是一种"积淀根基",深藏于日常生活的细微末节之中,需要扎根田野、深入生活去发现和揭示。在研究方法上,可以尝试完成从观察到理解、从疑问到提问、从易感性到分析性、从技术过程到社会过程、从讲故事到讲道理等几个重要环节的跨越。单个案研究和多案例比较方法对于上述研究具有不同的作用,两者之间是一个递增的、相互关联的关系,只不过在各个不同环节和阶段上,各自强调的重心有所不同。
The author＇s many years of field research provide the base for thesociological discussion in this paper about the relationship between field research and everyday life logic as well as the relationship between theory and method. The study finds that there is an intermediate stage between experience the everyday life logic that calls for an in-depth investigation. The logic of daily lives is a kind of ^accumulated foundation” that is hidden in the details of everyday life and can only be uncovered by immersing oneself into the field. Steps such as fromobserving to understanding, from specula ting to questioning, from predisposition to analysis, from techniques to social process, from tale-telling to facts finding, are suggested as desirable research methods. Individual case sudy and multi-case comparative study have different effects on research. While there is an increasing and interrelated relationship between the two , the difference exists points indifferent phases. Individual case study , with its focus on questioning , observing and interpreting , can provide evidence to test hypothesis and find the typical institutional logic in everyday life. Multi-case comparative study compensates the deficiency of individual case study by either expanding investigation ormaking comparison among different cases. This type of reasoning s an analytic reasoning , a form of inducing general conclusions from multi-case comparison. It contributes to the formation of a theoretical prototype.
