This volume explores those challenges and argues that the interview should be seen as a special, productive site of ethnographic encounter, a site of a very particular and important kind of knowing. In a range of social contexts and cultural settings, contributors show how the interview is experienced and imagined as a kind of space within which personal, biographic and social cues and norms can be explored and interrogated. The interview possesses its own authenticity, therefore—true to the persons involved and true to their moment of interaction—whilst at the same time providing information on human capacities and proclivities that is generalizable beyond particular social and cultural contexts.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 454gContributor: Katherine Smith (Edited by), James Staples (Edited by), Nigel Rapport (Edited by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesBook Series: Methodology & History in AnthropologyAuthor: Nigel RapportRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
