Abstract

This paper analyzes nostalgia as ideology and discursive system. The classic ethno-linguistic interview is reconsidered as a prototype of a ‘nostalgic’ interview. By analyzing statements of the researcher and the informants, it will be showcased how the nostalgic discourse influences the construction of the expert knowledge on communities under scrutiny. Finally, the ethno-linguistic interview is compared to interviews from related disciplines (the dialectological, ethnographic and socio-linguistic interview) – the author emphasizes the need to develop new, (self)reflective approaches instead of classic nostalgic interviews.
