David Silverman's second edition provides a refreshing introduction
to doing and debating qualitative research. An antidote to the
standard textbook, this new edition shows how research can be
methodologically inventive, empirically rigorous,
theoretically-alive and practically relevant.
Using materials ranging from photographs to novels and newspaper
stories, the book demonstrates that getting to grips with
qualitative methods means asking ourselves fundamental questions
about how we are influenced by contemporary culture. By drawing on
examples from websites and social media in the new edition,
Silverman's text acknowledges how our social worlds are changing
and explores new arenas for data collection. A new Glossary of
Received Ideas aims to challenge conventional understandings of
terms central to qualitative research and will inform, amuse and
stimulate readers.
This book is perfect pre-course reading for those new to
research as well as seasoned researchers who want to reflect on
their practice.
