Forced migrants live and act under extremely restricted conditions, nevertheless they make their own living. To understand and explain their agency, there are inductive, usually qualitative, approaches like symbolic interactionism or biographical case reconstruction and deductive, often quantitative, methodologies like rational choice and (cap)abilities-aspirations concepts. Integrating elements of biographical and life course research, critical realism, relational constructivist and social practice approaches and based on mixed-methods data gathering and analysis we propose a model of six interrelated areas of forced migrants’ muddling through their everyday life and making choices: social entanglements/vernacularization, experiences, socialization, preferences, expectations and resources (VESPER). We first shed light on the state of related literature and discuss some concepts for understanding and explaining migrants’ agency, then explain our conceptual frame of the VESPER model and the methodology of gathering and analyzing data via biographical narrations. We illustrate how the six areas of the VESPER model interrelate in the life course of a Syrian refugee in Turkey and draw some conclusions.

生命历程方法中的被迫移民能动性——概念性提议和实证说明
被迫移民在极其受限的条件下生活和活动,但他们仍然自谋生计。为了理解和解释它们的能动性,有归纳的,通常是定性的,如符号互动主义或传记案例重建,以及演绎的,通常是定量的,方法论,如理性选择和(cap)abilities-aspirations 概念。整合传记和生命历程研究、批判现实主义、关系建构主义和社会实践方法的元素,并基于混合方法数据收集和分析,我们提出了一个模型,其中包含被迫移民在日常生活中混淆和做出选择的六个相互关联的领域:社会纠葛/乡土化、经验、社会化、偏好、期望和资源 (VESPER)。我们首先阐明了相关文献的状况,讨论了理解和解释移民能动性的一些概念,然后解释了我们的 VESPER 模型的概念框架以及通过传记叙述收集和分析数据的方法。我们说明了 VESPER 模型的六个领域如何在土耳其的叙利亚难民的生命历程中相互关联,并得出一些结论。
