»But then we realized: There are these life stories«: Fritz Schütze in Conversation with Paul S. Ruppel and Pradeep Chakkarath

In diesem Interview mit Fritz Schütze liegt der Fokus auf seiner Arbeit in der qualitativen Forschung und der Entwicklung des autobiografisch-narrativen Interviews. Er beschreibt den Weg hin zur Analyse der Strukturen einer Lebensgeschichte und wie dieser Ansatz in der Soziologie aufgenommen wurde. Dabei schildert er, wie es ist, sich als Außenseiter in der eigenen Disziplin zu fühlen. Schütze erläutert, für wen das autobiografisch-narrative Interview geeignet ist, was es braucht, damit eine Lebensgeschichte erzählt werden kann und mit wem die Durchführung eines narrativen Interviews weniger Erfolg verspricht. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt des Gesprächs ist die Elaboration der Nähe seiner Arbeit zur Psychologie. Worin er Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede sieht, erklärt Schütze insbesondere auch im Hinblick auf die Psychoanalyse. Abschließend nennt er zukünftige Forschungsfelder, die er für das autobiografisch-narrative Interview als besonders relevant ansieht, und betont die soziopolitische Bedeutung autobiografischen Erzählens.This interview with Fritz Schütze focuses on his contribution to qualitative research and the development of the autobiographical narrative interview. He recounts the development of the method of analyzing the structures of a life story and its reception in the field of sociology. In doing so, he describes how it is to feel like an outsider in one’s own discipline. Schütze addresses for whom the autobiographical narrative interview is appropriate, what is required for a life story to be told, and with whom conducting a narrative interview is less likely to be successful. The interview also focuses on the closeness of his work to psychology, on the similarities and differences, especially regarding psychoanalysis. Finally, he specifies the future fields of research for which the autobiographical narrative interview will be particularly relevant and comments on the socio-political significance of autobiographical narrative

Philippines

This chapter examines emotional labor in the Philippines, an archipelagic nation in the Pacific with a population of over 100 million people. A blend of multiple cultures and influences, its contemporary civil service borrows heavily from US public administration and overlays these with traditional and acquired cultural characteristics. Empirical evidence shows that in some ways, emotional labor in the Philippine public sector mirrors that of other countries, but its relationship to job-related outcomes may reflect its own particular culture and context. Emotive capacity relates positively with job satisfaction and personal fulfillment like in many other countries. Emotive pretending while performing one’s job duties has no effect on burnout, unlike in many other countries. Performing authentically—deep acting—has no relationship with job satisfaction and personal fulfillment, but it is positively related to burnout. This is unlike the Philippine private sector, where deep acting was previously found to reduce burnout. Cultural and contextual factors in the Philippine public sector may help to explain these findings. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019

Interactions between the atmosphere, cryosphere, and ecosystems at northern high latitudes

The Nordic Centre of Excellence CRAICC (CRyosphere-Atmosphere Interactions in a Changing Arctic Climate), funded by NordForsk in the years 2011–2016, was the largest joint Nordic research and innovation initiative to date, aiming to strengthen research and innovation regarding climate change issues in the Nordic Region. CRAICC gathered more than 100 scientists from all Nordic countries in a virtual Centre with the objectives to identify and quantify the major processes controlling Arctic warming and related feedback mechanisms, to outline strategies to mitigate Arctic warming and to develop Nordic Earth System modelling with a focus on the short-lived climate forcers (SLCF), including natural and anthropogenic aerosols. The outcome of CRAICC is reflected in more than 150 peer-reviewed scientific publications, most of which are in the CRAICC special-issue of the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. This manuscript presents an overview on the main scientific topics investigated in the Centre and provides the reader a state-of-the-art comprehensive summary of what has been achieved in CRAICC with links to the particular publications for further detail. Facing the vast amount of outcomes we are not claiming to cover all results from CRAICC in this manuscript but concentrate here on the main results which are related to the feedback loops in the climate change-cryosphere interaction scheme affecting the Arctic amplification.The Nordic Centre of Excellence CRAICC (CRyosphere-Atmosphere Interactions in a Changing Arctic Climate), funded by NordForsk in the years 2011–2016, was the largest joint Nordic research and innovation initiative to date, aiming to strengthen research and innovation regarding climate change issues in the Nordic Region.
