Interviewers’ Comments and Invisible Violence about Home
The aim of this article is to analyze this sense of usefulness and its relationship to contemporary power issues. In the 2006-2007 edition of the Housing Quality Survey in Wallonia, such a comments box was available. Overall, it was filled for 1500 questionnaires out of 6018, i.e. 25% of all the questionnaires. They shed light on what interviewers think it is worth and important communicating beyond the content of the dataset. Which is the voice that can be formed on this basis?
These comments may be related to three issues. First, they may be indeed related to precision regarding the survey process. Second, they may be redundant with the content that was coded. Third, they may be judgmental. Beyond this classification of interviewers’ voice, its content reveals an invisible violence of interviewers about the interviewees and their home, while being inside their home.
