Situational Analysis as a Traveling Concept: Mapping, Coding and the Role of Hermeneutics

Die Situationsanalyse als "Traveling Concept": Kartieren, Kodieren und die Bedeutung von Hermeneutik

Situationsanalytische Mappingverfahren werden weithin als systematische empirische Techniken zur Analyse von Relationalität geschätzt. Die Rolle des Kodierens im Stil der Grounded-Theory-Methodologie als Technik der sequenziellen Analyse bleibt in den Methodenbüchern der Situationsanalyse jedoch etwas unklar. In meinem Beitrag betrachte ich die Situationsanalyse als ein Traveling Concept, das im Pragmatismus verwurzelt ist und in anderen Forschungslandschaften als denjenigen seiner Herkunft aufgegriffen wird. Mit Blick auf die Frage, wie die Situationsanalyse in den deutschsprachigen Sozialwissenschaften praktiziert wird, zeige ich, dass neben dem Mapping auch das Kodieren eine wesentliche Rolle spielt. Dieser Befund wird mit bestehenden Debatten zur sozialwissenschaftlichen Hermeneutik in Verbindung gebracht, und Beziehungen zwischen Pragmatismus und Hermeneutik werden geklärt. Schließlich frage ich nach möglichen Implikationen für die Datenanalyse in der Situationsanalyse.... view less

Situational analysis mapping is widely appreciated as offering systematical empirical approaches to analyzing relationality. However, the role of grounded theory coding as a technique to analyze sequentially remains somewhat unclear in situational analysis method books. In my contribution, I regard situational analysis as a traveling concept rooted in pragmatism and taken up within research landscapes different from its origin. Scrutinizing how situational analysis is practiced in German-speaking social sciences, I find that grounded theory coding is commonly used in addition to mapping. I relate this to existing debates on social scientific hermeneutics. Relations between pragmatism and hermeneutics are clarified and possible implications for data analysis in situational analysis are pointed out.... view less
