Abstract

While leisure and tourism researchers have come some way in addressing issues of reflexivity in their own research, this effort towards engaging with positionality has lagged approximately 10 years behind when the broader social sciences confronted the ‘reflexive turn’. This research note draws upon two cases from my own research with lifestyle travellers to illustrate how a reflexive approach can help to generate more trustworthy, richer texts in qualitative leisure research.

当休闲和旅游研究者一起来探讨他们自己研究的反思性的一些问题时, 向着定位做出的努力已经落后约10年了, 因为更广的社会学面临 “自反的转变”。该研究笔记是从我与生活旅行者的研究中的两个案例里总结出来的。我的研究是解释一个反思性的方法如何可以在定性休闲研究中帮助产生更多的信任, 和更丰富的内容。

Enquanto pesquisadores do lazer e do turismo caminharam no que tange questões de reflexividade em suas próprias pesquisas, esse esforço no envolvimento com posicionalidade apresentou um atraso de 10 anos se comparado com a “virada reflexiva” das ciências sociais. Essa nota de pesquisa baseia-se em dois casos de minha própria pesquisa com viajantes costumazes para ilustrar como uma abordagem reflexiva pode ajudar a gerar textos mais confiáveis e ricos em pesquisas sobre lazer qualitativo.
