Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
The growth of interdisciplinary cultural studies poses new challenges for the process of doing research. In this comprehensive textbook, Pertti Alasuutari introduces the range of approaches and methodological tools available for undertaking critical and rigorous research on culture. He draws upon three main sources:P/PP- the qualitative traditions of sociological and anthropological research, including ethnography and symbolic interactionism/PP/PP- the different methods used in the study of language and interaction: semiotics, narrative analysis, conversation analysis, discourse analysis/PP/PP- the relevance of quantitative analysis to the kind of data produced by research on culture/PP/PPBringing together these different approaches, Alasuutari shows how cultural studies transcend traditional divisions between qualitative and quantitative method and between social sciences and humanities. This will be an invaluable textbook for students of research methods, qualitative research and cultural studies./PP/PP`This clearly written, well-written text satisfies a long-standing need for an authoritative account of the methodology of cultural studies. It will become required reading on many courses' - BIDavid Silverman, Goldsmiths College, University of London/I/B/PIB /B/IPBI/I/BI/I/PP`This is a most welcome book. Alasuutari's work is engagingly written, concrete in terms of examples and details, and thoroughly conversant with current controversies' - BINorman K Denzin, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign/I/B/P
