Prácticas pioneras de archivo en la investigación sociológica cualitativa en España

Abstract

En el presente artículo se actualiza una línea de investigación en metodología cualitativa en la que se viene trabajando en los últimos años, a propósito de algunas iniciativas recientes (o en ciernes) de archivo de investigación sociológica cualitativa en España. Se retoma el caso español, su contextualización europea, para centrar la atención en algunas prácticas de archivo pioneras, de distinto tipo (según el grado de visibilización, institucionalización, etc.). El caso del archivo de estudios cualitativos del CIS se aborda con detenimiento; una muestra estratégica de sus fondos sirve para analizar la evolución habida en las prácticas de trascripción, por parte de investigadores emblemáticos (entre otros). Los hallazgos se contrastan con los obtenidos por otros investigadores con materiales del archivo británico Qualidata. Los conceptos de calidad y trastienda se relacionan con el de archivo cualitativo para plantear el debate metodológico de fondo, así como propuestas de promoción y mejora de un proceso en marcha.

Embedding Sustainable Development Goals in Education. Teachers’ Perspective about Education for Sustainability in the Basque Autonomous Community

“…The (individual) in-depth interviews were chosen as the main tool, since our selected sample "does not aim for statistical representation, but for a socio-structural typological representation corresponding to the objects of study" [24] (p. 68). A total of 38 interviews were conducted with secondary school teachers at 5 schools in the BAC.…”

Is being Punished at School an Indicator of Psychosocial Risk?

“…A cross-sectional, comparative study was carried out, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. In the first qualitative stage, sixteen in-depth interviews were carried out, for which a theoretical, flexible, iterative and continuous sampling was formulated, taking into account the criterion of typological representation and saturation point (Valles, 2014). Those selected responded to the typology: adolescents under treatment for drug consumption; adolescents in compliance of court orders and adolescents in social protection.…”

Awareness of Ageism While Researching Multiple Minority Discrimination: A Discourse and Grounded Theory Analysis Revisiting Own Qualitative Research

“…The accessibility of documentation available on websites produced by other social actors also was important. In short, through these different channels a triple language (plus its corresponding discourses or stories) has been accessed, the most elaborate discourses coming from political and administration bodies (immigration policies and legislation both in the Spanish and the European Union contexts in the years of the projects) and experts (articles published in social and legal sciences on multiple discrimination), together with most primary discourses from the general population (Valles et al, 2017). Subsequently, the exploration of the role of immigrant or pro-migrant NGOs in the context of institutional and discursive anti-discrimination (according to the United Nations declarations and other national and international legislation) has led us to focus our attention to a greater extent on Latino, Afro, and LGTBI cases (Valles, 2020).…”

“…These immigrants highlight the discriminatory treatment due to their age in their later years, by then mature adults in their 40s, 50s, or older. This ageism, linked to their visible immigrant status and lower social class, is accompanied by other forms of concurrent discrimination: their ethnic appearance or national origin, their skin color, body weight, accent, and so on (Valles et al, 2017).…”

“…It has already been said that the fact of being an immigrant and having left behind one’s youth and early adulthood does not necessarily lead to problems of age discrimination, unless other aspects of social class, nationality, and so on are involved, nor is the native or indigenous population spared from possible problems of ageism, nor necessarily condemned to suffer these, regardless of other attributes or circumstances. The native population consulted in Spain also felt discriminated against, mainly due to some more visible aspects: their physical appearance, also influenced by gender, age or social position (Valles et al, 2017).…”
