Conflicts, Limits and Opportunities of the German Society of Immigration in the Light of Career Biographies of Muslim and Non-Muslim Migrants

目前的研究项目涉及在完成中等或高等教育和/或职业培训后具有或不具有穆斯林身份的向上移动的移民的经历。具体而言，它涉及来自意大利和土耳其的30至60岁的移民如何看待他们自己的社会流动背景下的冲突，限制和机会。首先，重点是工作领域，但如果受访者将这一领域与其他领域联系起来，分析将扩大到包括这些领域（休闲时间、公民参与、跨国关系等）。该项目追求三个连续和相互关联的研究问题：1。当向上移动的移民回顾他们过去几年以职业为导向的工作生活，或者当他们预期自己的未来时，他们看到了什么？他们如何安排自己的职业生涯？什么是车站，被认为是个人的重要性？2.这些移民认为自己卷入了哪些冲突，他们认为自己面临着什么样的限制和界限？他们如何把握好机遇和机遇？3.虽然在早期移民大多被归类为外来工人或外国人，但现在一些第二代移民甚至不被视为移民，而其他第二代移民-特别是来自土耳其的移民-被视为来自不同文明的人（Kulturkreis）或仅仅是穆斯林。在德国，公众对移民分类的变化是否对移民对其自身社会流动性的看法产生了影响？在实际和政治方面，上述问题涉及移民的日常生活和德国移民社会的社会渗透性。从科学的角度来看，这些问题借鉴了三个研究领域的必要条件：社会流动性，传记研究和冲突社会学。所有这三个研究领域都很少关注移民如何体验他们以职业为导向的工作生活。在萨拉斯定理的背景下，这显示出某种偏见。本项目旨在通过产生令人信服的结果来纠正这种偏见，从而也有助于将这三个领域更紧密地联系在一起。为了充分研究这一主题，本项目遵循了一种面向生活世界的冲突分析方法，该方法将现象学社会学和冲突社会学相结合。抽样建立在以问题为导向的访谈与叙述性传记介绍和专家访谈。分析方法借鉴了罗森塔尔的生活故事重构方法和定性内容分析方法。

The research project at hand deals with experiences of upwardly mobile migrants with and without attributed Muslim identity after having completed their secondary or tertiary education and/or their vocational training. In concrete terms it addresses how thirty to sixty year old migrants stemming from Italy and Turkey perceive conflicts, limits and opportunities within the context of their own social mobility. First of all, the focus is on the working sphere but to the extent that interviewees link this sphere to other areas the analysis will be broadened to include these areas as well (leisure time, civic participation, transnational relations etc.).The project pursues three successive and interrelated bundles of research questions: 1. What do upwardly mobile migrants see, when they look back at their career-oriented workinglife in the preceding years or when they anticipate their personal future? How do they sequence their career? What are the stations and regarded as of personal importance? 2. In which conflicts do these migrants regard themselves involved and to what kind of limitations and boundaries do they see themselves confronted with? How do they live positive turns and opportunities? 3. While in earlier times migrants mostly have been categorized as guest workers or foreigner nowadays some second-generation Migrants are not even identified as Migrants, whereas other second-generation Migrants - especially Migrants from Turkey - are seen as people stemming from different civilizations (Kulturkreis) or simply as Muslims. Does the change of the public categorization of migrants in Germany have repercussions on the migrants perception of their own social mobility?In practical and political terms the questions mentioned above concern every-day-life of migrants and social permeability of the German immigration society. In scientific terms the questions draw on desiderata of three research areas: social mobility, biographical studies, and conflict sociology. All three research areas pay rather little attention to how migrants experience their career-oriented working-life. Against the background of the Thomas-theorem this shows a certain bias. The project aims at correcting the bias by generating convincing results thus also contributing to bring the three areas closer together.In order to study the subject adequately the project follows the approach of a lifeworld-oriented conflict analysis which integrates phenomenological sociology and conflict sociology. The sampling builds on problem oriented interviews with a narrative-biographical introduction and expert interviews. The analysis recurs to Rosenthals approach to the reconstructing of life stories and to qua-litative content analysis.
