This introduction to postmodernism offers a comprehensive
examination of postmodern theory and its application to the study
of society. It surveys the work of theorists and explores the
potential and limits of postmodern analysis across key areas of
development, including deconstruction, semiotics, the new
ethnography and feminist theory. This guide should be suitable as
an undergraduate text for social and cultural theory courses and
should appeal to students of social research methods.
Used by everyone from survey researchers to oral historians, the
interview may be the most basic and essential field method in the
qualitative researcher's toolkit. In this concise, student-friendly
guide, Fontana and Prokos give a cogent introduction to the
history, types, and methods of interviewing in the social sciences.
They outline the range of ways in which interviews are conducted,
both structured and unstructured, then provide instruction on
conducting and interpreting interviews, and address ethical
considerations in eliciting information from people. The authors
also point to recent and future trends that will affect the use of
this method. For researchers who need a primer and for students in
methods courses or assigned fieldwork projects in other courses
across the social sciences, this short, inexpensive volume is
ideal.
