Interpretive Interactionism
Applied Social Research Methods
"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."
-CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLOGY
An insighful and very thought provoking book that explores the craft of qualitative research. Denzin as always brings the soul into the 'scientific research' and beautyfully talks about data analysis and research paradigms
This book is a serious player for anyone who is considering a research higher degree. Professor Denzin lays out his research method in a logical and readable way. Interpretative Interactionism is a hugely useful research method!!
Excellent text book which addresses the complexities of philosophical aspects research
