Anxious but productive lifestyle mobilities? Divided selves in post-growth Japan

2022年8月至9月，终于可以在芬兰、爱沙尼亚、丹麦和奥地利进行实地工作。在维也纳、赫尔辛基、塔林、维尔扬迪和哥本哈根进行了23次访谈。此外，2023年3月在名古屋和东京对回返者进行了后续访谈和参与观察。会议合作者为大流行期间进行的在线访谈增加了宝贵的见解。从方法上讲，twitter是一个有用的工具，可以在与受访者面对面之前招募他们，了解他们的生活。大多数受访者对自己的生活感到满意，但不确定性是叙事中经常出现的特征。寻求新的工作模式，寻求新的性别角色（非二元），将工作和家庭结合起来也是主题。

In August-September 2022 fieldwork could finally be conducted in Finland, Estonia, Denmark and Austria. 23 interviews were conducted in Vienna, Helsinki, Tallinn and Viljandi and in Copenhagen. Furthermore, in March 2023 follow-up interviews with returnees and participant observation were carried out in Nagoya and Tokyo. Meeting collaborators added valuable insights to online interviews carried out during the pandemic. Methodologically, twitter turned out as a useful tool to recruit interviewees and gain insights into their lives before meeting them face to face.Most interviewees were satisfied with their lives, yet uncertainty was a frequent feature in narratives. Attempts to pursue new modes of work, seek novel gender roles (non-binary), combine work and family were also themes.
