关于采访“精英”的方法论争论最近在人文地理学中受到了极大的关注。这场辩论的许多贡献者都提出，采访“向上”有本质上的不同，地理学的方法论文献需要留出空间来考虑。本文认为，事实上，“精英”受访者和其他类型的受访者之间的区别是基于不充分和广泛批评的权力概念。相反，如果地理学家采用后结构的权力理解，我们可能能够实现一个更复杂的分析采访空间内的权力关系。
Methodological debates about interviewing ‘elites’ have recently received significant attention within human geography. Many of the contributors to this debate have suggested that there is something intrinsically different about interviewing ‘up’, which geography’s methodological literature needs to make space to consider. This paper argues that, in fact, the distinction between ‘elite’ interviewees and other types of interviewees is based on inadequate and widely critiqued conceptions of power. If, instead, geographers employ a poststructural understanding of power, we may be able to achieve a more sophisticated analysis of power relations within the interview space.
