Social and cultural research has changed dramatically in the last
few years in response to changing conceptions of the empirical, an
intensification of interest in interdisciplinary work, and the
growing need to communicate with diverse users and audiences.
Methods texts, however, have not kept pace with these changes. This
volume provides a set of new approaches for the investigation of
the contemporary world. Building on the increasing importance of
methodologies that cut across disciplines, more than twenty expert
authors explain the utility of 'devices' for social and cultural
research - their essays cover such diverse devices as the list, the
pattern, the event, the photograph, the tape recorder and the
anecdote. This fascinating collection stresses the open-endedness
of the social world, and explores the ways in which each device
requires the user to reflect critically on the value and status of
contemporary ways of making knowledge. With a range of genres and
styles of writing, each chapter presents the device as a hinge
between theory and practice, ontology and epistemology, and
explores whether and how methods can be inventive. The book will be
a valuable resource for students and scholars of sociology and
cultural studies.
