A dialogical research methodology based on Buber: intersubjectivity in the research interview

Buber's concepts of I‐It and I‐Thou are well known, yet his understandings of a dialogical process and dialogical knowing are less evident in the literature. This article briefly details a unique Buberian dialogical research methodology, devised for research into psychological and emotional abuse in families. Informed by Buber's premise that dialogue is the source of knowing, this methodology privileges the intersubjectivity between participant and researcher. It is operationalized in methods that highlight the dialogical process within the research interview, from which dialogical knowing may emerge. Analysis of the intersubjective process is based on the conceptualization of five poetic images that recur in Buber's work, as illustrated in the micro‐analysis contained in this article. It suggests that a Buberian methodology offers deeper and more nuanced understandings of the subjective experiences of vulnerable participants and of theoretical knowledge about a sensitive topic. Practitioner points Buber's scholarship highlights the ideas of dialogical process and dialogical knowing A Buberian research methodology requires intersubjectivity to be privileged in analysis, before the consideration of subjective experience or theoretical knowledge Intersubjective analysis may be operationalized by a conceptualization of Buber's poetic images Dialogical moments may occur within the research interview, from which dialogical knowing may emerge 基于布伯的对话研究方法：研究访谈中的主体间性 布伯的“我—它”和“我—你”的概念是众所周知的, 但他关于对话过程和对话产生的知识的理解在文献中体现得不太明显。本文简要介绍了一种独特的布伯式对话研究方法, 用来研究家庭中的心理和情绪虐待。受布伯的“对话是知识的来源”这一前提影响, 这种方法特别关注参与者和研究者之间的主体间性。它的实施方法强调研究访谈中的对话过程, 从中可能出现对话产生的知识。主体间过程的分析是基于布伯著作中反复出现的五个诗意图像的概念化, 如本文包含的微观分析所示。这表明, 布伯式方法对于脆弱参与者的主观经验和敏感话题的理论知识提供了更深入和更细微的理解。 对实务工作者的启示 布伯的研究强调了对话过程和对话知识的概念。 布伯式研究方法要求在分析中强调主体间性, 甚于对主观经验或理论知识的考虑。 主体间分析可以通过布伯概念化的诗意图像来实现。 研究访谈中可能会出现对话时刻, 其中可能会出现对话知识。 关键词：布伯；对话研究；定性；主体间；研究访谈；心理和情绪虐待 Una metodología de investigación dialógica basada en Buber: inter‐subjetividad en la entrevista de investigación Los conceptos de Buber de I‐It y I‐Thou son bien conocidos, pero su conceptualización de un proceso dialógico y del conocimiento dialógico son menos evidentes en la literatura.
