许多社会研究项目，如访谈、焦点小组和调查，都把当地的地方作为一个给定的条件：他们从一个特定的地方选择参与者，把这个地方作为参与者所说的背景，问他们与地方有关的问题，并把不同地方的回答联系起来。但是人们可以用不同的方式来识别地方，在地理或关系方面，以及在不同的规模水平上。本研究分析了焦点小组中的段落，其中参与者说他们来自哪里，表明参与者通常将问题和答案视为常规，然后显示当这种一致性被打破，修改或质疑时，互动的发展方式。当一个参与者修改他们来自哪里的陈述时，他们会适应他们所看到的对话者的知识和立场，他们重新呈现自己，他们创造了进一步谈话的可能性，辩护，讲故事，或表示有权发表意见。我认为，人们回答这个问题的方式，互动，可以告诉我们关于他们，我们，以及他们的世界地图。
Many social research projects, such as interviews, focus groups, and surveys, take local place as a given: they choose participants from a particular place, take this place as background for what the participants say, ask them about place-related issues, and correlate responses with different places. But people can identify places in different ways, in geographical or relational terms, and in different levels of scale. This study analyses passages in focus groups in which participants say where they are from, shows that participants generally take the question and answer as routine, and then shows the ways the interaction develops when this routineness is broken, amended, or called into question. When a participant revises their statement of where they are from, they adapt to what they see as the knowledge and stance of their interlocutor, they re-present themselves, and they create possibilities for further talk, defending, telling stories, or showing entitlement to an opinion. I argue that the ways people answer this question, interactively, can tell us about them, and us, as well as about their map of the world.
