Interviews appear to be the qualitative research method of choice but have rarely been the subject of qualitative methodological research. Therefore, it is largely unclear what exactly happens during an interview and how interviews are empirically constituted as communication and interaction situations. This research gap is the focus of ROULSTON's anthology "Interactional Studies of Qualitative Research Interviews," which I discuss in this review essay. Over the course of 12 contributions, the authors present ethnomethodologically inspired (re)analyses of interactional dynamics, social actions, and conversational resources in interviews. The volume is particularly worth reading, and the contributors (once again) demonstrate the utility of an ethnomethodological and conversation analysis-based perspective for understanding interview interactions. This can inspire researchers to examine interactional dynamics in their own projects more intensively. For researchers interested in the methodological discussion on interview research, this book offers not only insights into the state of the art but also suggestions for future research in the field of "social studies of interview studies" (RAPLEY 2012, p.552). If this research field is to be consolidated, I propose more systematic studies of interview research, the consideration of different research traditions, and the intensification of the international exchange on interview research.... view less

Interviews erscheinen als die qualitative Forschungsmethode der Wahl, sind selbst jedoch bislang nur selten Gegenstand qualitativer Methodenforschung geworden. Weitgehend unklar ist daher, was in qualitativen Interviews eigentlich genau geschieht und wie Interviews als Kommunikations- und Interaktionssituationen empirisch konstituiert werden. Mit dem in diesem Review Essay besprochenen Sammelband "Interactional Studies of Qualitative Research Interviews" setzt ROULSTON an dieser Forschungslücke an. In 12 Beiträgen widmen sich die Autor*innen ethnomethodologisch inspirierten (Re-)Analysen interaktiver Dynamiken, sozialer Handlungen und konversationeller Ressourcen in vorwiegend mündlich und Face to Face durchgeführten Interviews. Insgesamt liegt ein sehr lesenswerter Band vor, mit dem (erneut) die Leistungsfähigkeit einer ethnomethodologisch und konversationsanalytisch geschulten Perspektive für das Verständnis von Interviewinteraktionen demonstriert wird und dadurch Forschende angeregt werden können, in ihren eigenen Projekten Interaktionsdynamiken intensiver zu untersuchen. Für Forschende, die an einer methodologischen Auseinandersetzung mit Interviewforschung interessiert sind, bietet der Band nicht nur Einblicke in den interaktionstheoretischen State of the Art, sondern auch Anregungen für zukünftige Untersuchungen im Bereich der "social studies of interview studies" (RAPLEY 2012, S.552). Soll die Forschung zur Interviewforschung als Feld konsolidiert werden, schlage ich vor, die bislang dominierenden reflexiven Auseinandersetzungen mit eigenen Forschungserfahrungen durch systematische Studien zur Interviewforschung zu ergänzen, die Perspektiven verschiedener Forschungstraditionen einzubeziehen und den internationalen Austausch zur Interviewforschung weiter zu stärken.... view less
