ABSTRACT

In this paper we present a methodological toolbox as a useful research approach for investigating domestic food practices. Consumption research often relies strongly on interviews or surveys. While helpful, such methods inevitably create a distance between the verbalization of the studied practice and the practice itself, inviting post hoc rationalization. The toolbox helps the researcher to get closer to the studied practice by combining interviews with methods based on observation, visualization and verbalization, in or close to practice. The toolbox holds a variety of methods and we describe fridge stories, food mapping, shop-alongs and food diaries. Through a practical discussion of the advantages and difficulties of these methods, and their combined use, we hope our paper can be useful to other researchers and students interested in everyday food practices.

摘要

在本文中，我们介绍了一种方法学工具箱，作为调查国内食品做法的有用研究方法。消费研究通常非常依赖访谈或调查。这些方法虽然有用，但不可避免地会在所研究的练习的言语表达与练习本身之间产生距离，从而引发事后的合理化。该工具箱通过将访谈与基于观察或接近实践的观察，可视化和口头化方法相结合，帮助研究人员更接近所研究的实践。该工具箱包含多种方法，我们描述了冰箱的故事，食物地图，商店和食物日记。通过实际讨论这些方法的优缺点以及它们的组合使用，
