Description
The Interview: An Ethnographic Approach This collection of essays challenges the traditional understanding of the interview, exploring its methods, techniques, and applications in social science research. The authors examine the nature of the interview, including issues of awkwardness, silence, and censorship, and consider how interviews are used in ethnographic practice. The book offers a critical and innovative approach to the interview, covering topics that are often overlooked in general interview textbooks. It will be of particular interest to social scientists engaged in qualitative research methods, as well as anthropology and sociology students using interviews in their research and writing. By putting the interview under scrutiny, this volume aims to provide a deeper understanding of its role in social science research and its potential limitations.
