Digital culture and digital technologies have rapidly become
unavoidable and essential forms of social experience and
communication in our emerging globalised society. If we want to
attempt to analyse and understand our technology-saturated society,
and all its new media, then we must also develop research methods
and forms of analysis that can accommodate and exploit digital
culture and digital technologies. This important new methods text
sets out to equip qualitative researchers with the tools necessary
to conduct ethnography in the age of email and the internet. It
will investigate how digital technologies potentially transform the
ways in which we do research. This text also introduces the reader
to new emerging methods that utilise new technologies and explains
how to conduct data collection, analysis and representation using
new technologies and `hypermedia'. Essential reading for any
student or researcher interested in qualitative research in an age
of hypermedia, this text: - explains how digital technology impacts
on social research; - investigates how digital technology has
reshaped the field of social research; - consider the implications
of bringing multimedia into the forefront of qualitative research;
- suggests new ways of observing and documenting a `technologised'
and design-rich society; - enables the reader to use new
technologies to handle and represent qualitative data; - unpacks
the theoretical implications of writing and researching for the
electronic screen
