本文讨论了定性研究中仍围绕研究人员主观性和反思性的一些困境。它探讨了对特内里费岛的英国移民定性研究的例子，该研究涉及在两个主要就业领域的民族志数据收集：圈舞和分时度假销售。它解释了研究项目的设置和方法，探索了一个特别棘手的研究，该组织对“良好”数据中某些级别的人的“异性”进行了研究，部分原因是该小组的观点和论述具有自己的政治意识形态。探索英国移民搬到特内里费岛的原因是研究的核心，数据表明，这些移民动机在阶级，性别和种族身份的想法中被掩盖了。收集这种性质的数据引起了关于不平等，其他和差异的概念，这些“外出”的概念与我与该领域的移民的关系关键。本文考虑了这种特殊的经验情况的反思性动态，探讨了某些群体如何“不可动摇”，以及这如何在伦理学，认识论和最终数据方面影响研究。
This article discusses some of the dilemmas still surrounding researcher subjectivity and reflexivity in qualitative research. It explores the example of qualitative research into Britishmigration to Tenerife, which involved ethnographic data collection in two principal employment areas: lap dancing and timeshare sales. It explains the setting andmethodology of the research project, exploring the especially thorny ground of researching into a group whose 'otherness' on some levelsmanifests in 'good' data, partly because the group's opinions and discourses jar with one's own political ideology. Exploring the Britishmigrants' reasons for moving to Tenerife was central to the research, and the data showed that these migration motives were couched in ideas about class, gender, and race identity. Collecting data of that nature brought to the fore ideas about inequality, othering and difference and these 'outed' notions became pivotal to my relationships with the migrants in the field. The article considers the dynamics of reflexivity of this particular empirical situation, exploring how and why certain groups become 'unloveable' and how this affects the research in terms of ethics, epistemology and ultimately data.
