本文展示了口述历史和未来访谈作为定性方法研究危机的一种方法和一系列创新。它为方法论创新提供了新的可能性，以涵盖生命历程中危机的多向和纵向时间性以及危机的生命历程。作为方法论增强的一个令人兴奋的途径，我建立并整合了口述历史和创造性传记访谈的技术。作为最近一项探索生殖、经济危机和生命历程的研究的一部分，我旨在通过传统定性方法的创新，引出人们对过去、现在和未来的经验和看法。我概述了五个创新领域以及相关的观察、机遇和障碍，包括关注年轻一代、关注未来、纳入反思活动、危机中的采访以及远程采访。结论强调了从口述历史和未来的方法中可以学到什么来思考社会时间视野。
This paper showcases Oral Histories and Futures interviews as an approach and series of innovations for researching crises with qualitative methods. It presents new possibilities for methodological innovations to embrace the multi‐directional and longitudinal temporalities of crises across the life‐course and the life‐course of crises. As an exciting avenue for methodological enhancement, I build on and bring together techniques across Oral Histories and creative biographical interviewing. Developed as part of a recent study exploring reproduction, economic crisis and the life‐course, with this approach I aimed to elicit people's experiences and opinions about their pasts, present and futures by innovating with traditional qualitative methodologies. I outline five areas of innovation—and associated observations, opportunities and obstacles—including a focus on younger generations, on the future, the inclusion of reflexive activities, interviewing in the midst of crises, and remote interviewing. Conclusions highlight what can be learned from an Oral Histories and Futures approach for thinking about socio‐temporal horizons.
