"This is an excellent collection of papers which celebrates the
best of traditional approaches to fieldwork, whilst also looking to
its future. The Handbook will quickly become essential reading for
the novice and experienced fieldworker across many of the social
sciences""--Chris Pole, University of Leicester
"
Fieldwork is widely practiced but little written about, yet
accounts of the exotic, mundane, complex and often dangerous are
central to not only sociology and anthropology but also geography,
social psychology and criminology. In all these - increasingly
overlapping - fields, experience underlies any comprehensive
understanding of social life.
The SAGE Handbook of Fieldwork presents the first major overview
of this method in all its variety, introducing the reader to the
strengths, weaknesses, and 'real world' applications of fieldwork
techniques. Its 22 carefully chosen chapters are each based on a
substantive field of empirical enquiry, written by an acknowledged
expert in the field. The range is impressive: from the traditional
to the virtual, concerning subjects as diverse as emotion,
sexuality, sport, embodiment, identity, self-narrative, fieldwork
in organizations, science and technology.
Specifically intended for use in undergraduate and postgraduate
courses in qualitative research design and methodology in
sociology, anthropology, criminology, urban studies, social
geography, public health and education, the handbook will also
prove beneficial to academic researchers in these and other
disciplines.
