摘要

The fact that there are structures behind our backs means that these are not or only to a very small extent perceptible. Even if you know nothing about them, they are still there and influence us.

So we know almost nothing in our everyday life about the constellation that guides us. But this also means that interviews to investigate the consequences of these structures are unsuitable. How can you have something explained by an interviewee that he himself does not know?
