Interpretive Interactionism

Applied Social Research Methods #16

by Norman K. Denzin

Filling a void in qualitative research methods, this volume presents a methodology for studying individual′s problems and how they are connected with both public issues and public response to these problems. The author provides an accessible description of the existential, interpretive research approach, which includes open-ended and creative interviewing, document analysis, life-history, personal experience and self-story construction, and participant observation.
