Book Overview

"Interpretive Interactionism argues strongly for a new approach to qualitative research methods. Writing primarily for established practitioners and advanced graduate students, Denzin seeks to fuse influences of symbolic interactionist, hermeneutical, feminist, post-modern, and critical-biographical thought into his personal approach to research, which he calls interpretive interactionism. This work cleaves to the forefront of the field through its unapologetic advocacy of the subjective, its emphasis on the biographical, and its appeal for experimentation in new writing conventions. Readers who want acquaintance with current thinking in the field will find it well synthesized in this volume. This is one of the simplest and clearest presentations of his work Denzin has offered in years."

Insightful & Analytical

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
For years I've taught about the importance of context in communication, but no one makes the case for its importance any clearer than Denzin. He uses violence to drive his point home. Violence has no meaning in isolation. In somekind of context, the meaning changes. There is violence in war, violence as revenge, violence committed randomly. Context frames understanding. Isolation keeps it ambiguous.Largely this book is about methodology. It helps scholars interpret data once its been collected. In fact, data collection is filled with meaning-making choices. Denzin goes beyond methodology, however and gives insight into larger issues. He frames his discussion well. There's a lot to mentally digest in this book.
