This research aims to explore how Brexit has been experienced within everyday personal relationships, particularly family relationships. The idea that, following Brexit, the UK is a 'divided' nation, characterised by deep divisions between 'remainers' and 'leavers' has been emphasised in the British media over the past few years. However, despite the prevalence of these ideas, we understand very little about how these so called divisions are lived and experienced in people's everyday personal relationships, particularly within families where generational divisions are likely to be keenly felt. Therefore, the research addresses questions concerning how Brexit, and the political debates and events that have surrounded it, have affected people's everyday relationships, how so called 'divisions' -for example between 'remainers' and 'leavers' and 'millenials' and 'baby boomers' - have been experienced in people's everyday relationships, how people's political orientations and attitudes are influenced by their past and present personal relationships and how seemingly mundane interactions, identities, relationships and biographies can shape people's experiences of and orientations towards Brexit.It is difficult to access detailed and in-depth understandings of mundane and everyday aspects of family life using standard interviews with participants, who may find it difficult to recall and articulate these aspects of their lives. Similarly, it is difficult to employ methods that involve 'hanging out' with families for prolonged periods of time. This project proposes to overcome these issues by drawing upon an innovative toolkit of creative methods that will be used with a group of up to ten families over the period of one year. Families will be recruited from areas in and around Manchester and Sheffield and will have a diverse range of backgrounds. A prolonged engagement with a small number of families will enable an understanding of the everyday ways in which Brexit affects people's lives and relationships over time and the recruitment of family groups, as well as other important associates, will help to understand the complexities of the role of relationships in shaping people's political orientations. Participants will choose from a range of methods. These include individual and family interviews designed to gain a sense of participants' political opinions; memory tasks to help to understand how people's early political memories impact upon their orientations towards Brexit and observations and 'hanging out' with families to access mundane, everyday interactions. Participants may also take part in an observed television watching session based on Channel Four's 'Gogglebox' programme in order to see how conversations might arise around the viewing of political programming. Some participants may also get involved in 'mapping' the networks that matter to them and keeping diaries of their interactions about politics. This will help to understand the role of other associates in shaping people's political views and experiences.In bringing together these various methods, the project will gain an in-depth, fine-grained understanding of the ways in which Brexit is experienced in everyday life. These understandings will contribute an insight into how political outlooks and orientations may manifest in families, how they may be passed on and perpetuated between generations as well as contested over time, which can help academics to understand more about the role of politics in personal relationships as well as helping practitioners working in local organisations striving to encourage civic engagement and community cohesion to understand how political orientations manifest. Furthermore, the innovatie methods employed by the project will help researchers both within and beyond academia to conduct research that is able to capture the complexities of everyday life.

这项研究旨在探索英国脱欧在日常人际关系，尤其是家庭关系中是如何经历的。过去几年，英国媒体一直在强调，脱欧后的英国是一个“分裂”的国家，其特点是“留欧派”和“脱欧派”之间存在深刻分歧。然而，尽管这些观点很流行，我们对这些所谓的分裂是如何在人们的日常人际关系中生活和经历的知之甚少，特别是在家庭中，代际分裂可能会被强烈地感受到。因此，该研究解决了以下问题：英国脱欧以及围绕它的政治辩论和事件如何影响人们的日常关系；所谓的“分歧”——例如“留欧派”和“脱欧派”之间、“千禧一代”和“婴儿潮一代”之间——如何在人们的日常关系中经历；人们的政治取向和态度如何受到他们过去和现在的个人关系的影响；身份、关系和传记可以塑造人们对英国脱欧的经历和取向。通过对参与者的标准访谈，很难获得对家庭生活平凡和日常方面的详细和深入的理解，他们可能会发现很难回忆和阐明他们生活的这些方面。同样，很难采用与家人长时间“闲逛”的方法。为了克服这些问题，该项目提出了一套创新的方法，将在一年的时间里在多达十个家庭中使用。这些家庭将从曼彻斯特和谢菲尔德及其周边地区招募，他们将有各种各样的背景。与少数家庭的长期接触将有助于了解英国脱欧对人们生活和人际关系的日常影响，而招募家庭团体以及其他重要伙伴将有助于了解人际关系在塑造人们政治取向方面的复杂作用。参与者将从一系列方法中进行选择。这些包括个人和家庭访谈，旨在了解参与者的政治观点；记忆任务，以帮助理解人们早期的政治记忆如何影响他们对英国脱欧的态度，以及观察和与家人“闲逛”以获得平凡的日常互动。参与者还可以参加一个基于第四频道“Gogglebox”节目的观察电视观看环节，以了解围绕观看政治节目可能产生的对话。一些参与者可能还会参与“绘制”与他们有关的网络，并记录他们在政治方面的互动。这将有助于理解其他同事在塑造人们的政治观点和经验方面的作用。通过将这些不同的方法结合在一起，该项目将深入细致地了解英国脱欧在日常生活中的经历方式。这些理解将有助于深入了解政治观点和取向如何在家庭中表现出来，它们如何在几代人之间传递和延续，以及随着时间的推移而产生的争议，这可以帮助学者更多地了解政治在个人关系中的作用，并帮助在努力鼓励公民参与和社区凝聚力的地方组织工作的从业者了解政治取向如何表现出来。此外，该项目采用的创新方法将帮助学术界内外的研究人员进行能够捕捉日常生活复杂性的研究。
