Zusammenfassung

Dieser Beitrag schlägt die Erweiterung der Biographieforschung um die soziale Netzwerkanalyse (SNA) vor. Wir plädieren dafür, biographische Narrationen nicht isoliert von interpersonellen Beziehungen zu betrachten. Die egozentrierte Netzwerkanalyse, eine Spielart der sozialen Netzwerkanalyse, gibt uns das methodische Instrumentarium an die Hand, interpersonelle Beziehungen der Biograph*innen mit zu berücksichtigen und für die Kontextualisierung biographischer Narrative zu nutzen. Eine kombinierte Anwendung der egozentrierten Netzwerkanalyse und biographischer Verfahren wird am Beispiel einer empirischen Studie zur transnationalen Migration zwischen der Türkei und Deutschland illustriert.
