»Vse po resnici!« Uporaba biografske metode ob raziskovanju Šavrink

Grounded in ethnographic research on women’s labour migration between the hinterland and thecoastal towns of Istria in the first half of the 20th century, the text highlights the use of the biographical method. It presents the specific methodological approach used in the research on Šavrinkas, and the reasons for using this type of methodology, as well as the broader historical context of the use of biographical methods in anthropology. The intertwining of the research topic and methodology as well as the past and the present will be discussed. Both emphases are crucial for the understanding of undocumented or at best artistically interpreted lives of women egg-traders, as well as their echoes in thepresent, in which migrant women played a crucial role in the process of forming the heritage of the area.Besedilo na podlagi etnografske raziskave o ženskih delovnih migracijah med istrskim zaledjem in obalnim imesti v prvi polovici 20. stoletja osvetljuje uporabo biografske metode. Predstavlja specifični metodološki pristop ob raziskovanju Šavrink, razloge za uporabo tovrstnega metodološkega prijema kot tudi širši zgodovinski kontekst uporabe biografske metode v antropologiji. V ospredju članka so spoj raziskovalne teme in metodologije kakor tudi preplet sedanjosti in preteklosti. Vsi poudarki so ključni pri osvetljevanju nedokumentiranih ali z umetniškim posegom interpretiranih življenj preprodajalk z jajci kot tudi odmev sedanjosti, v kateri so prav ženske migrantke odigrale ključno vlogo v procesu oblikovanja dediščine obravnavanega območja
