In diesem Artikel untersuche ich das Potenzial praxisorientierter Reflexivität im Umgang mit den von Sozialwissenschaftler*innen angewandten Kategorien. Grundlage meiner Auseinandersetzung ist mein laufendes Promotionsprojekt, in dem ich einen qualitativen ethnografischen Ansatz verfolge. Bezugnehmend auf verschiedene Reflexivitätsansätze aus der Migrationsforschung, Untersuchungen über intime Beziehungen und feministischer Theorie zeige ich Wege auf, Settings als Begegnungen zu betrachten, in denen Dialoge und eine Atmosphäre des Zuhörens möglich sind. Als Beispiele für die Erkundung praxisorientierter Reflexivität dienen zwei besonders vielschichtige Kategorien: afghanisch und Ehe. Anhand der ersten Kategorie illustriere ich die Wirkungen von Fremd- und Eigenzuschreibung im Kontext eines breiteren gesellschaftlichen und politischen Rahmens. Am Beispiel der Kategorie Ehe veranschauliche ich einen Weg der gemeinsamen Ergründung von Bedeutungen im Dialog mit Forschungsteilnehmer*innen. Durch die praktische Umsetzung von Reflexivität leiste ich einen Beitrag zum wachsenden Untersuchungsfeld intimer Beziehungen im Migrationskontext, in dem eine kritische Haltung gegenüber Kategorien nur selten angewandt wird, und angewandter Reflexivität in der Migrationsforschung. Ich argumentiere, dass eine unhinterfragte Anwendung von Kategorien zur Reproduktion von diskriminierenden Praktiken und Eurozentrismus führen kann und dass Wissenschaftler*innen, insbesondere jene, die mit marginalisierten Gruppen arbeiten, die Verantwortung übernehmen müssen, häufig als selbstverständlich erachtete Kategorien zu hinterfragen.
