Description
Summary:Field research is drawn on to examine the comprehensive interview as a means of data collection. Also considered are the experiences of certain ethnosociological theorists (eg, Michel Maffesoli) who advocate the use of biography & the life narrative in data collection. Focus is on the "outline in the field": the contact, approach to Others, conversation, discursive orientation, sharing, & result. Personal experiences as a field researcher underpin reflections on the utilization of this qualitative methodology. 13 References. Adapted from the source document.
