Inhaltsangabe

Postmodern Interviewing

offers readers an exploration of the postmodern interview, a conversation with diverse purposes in which the communicative format is constructed as much within the interview conversation as it stems from predesignated research interests. It provides cutting-edge discussions of emerging horizons, featuring reflexivity, poetics, and power, along with discussions of new ways of gathering experiential knowledge. Employing concepts from anthropology, family studies, history, and sociology, the contributors present the ambitious new directions in which the interview has gone, such as:

  • How the interview process is refracted through the lens of language, knowledge, culture, and difference
  • How the dividing line between fact and fiction is blurred to promote richer understanding
  • How standardized representation has given way to representational invention

This volume is comprised of chapters from the Handbook of Interview Research (Gubrium and Holstein, SAGE, 2001). The companion volume, Inside Interviewing (SAGE, 2003), is also comprised of chapters from the Handbook.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jaber F. Gubrium was appointed Chair of the Sociology Department at the University of Missouri in 2002. He previously has taught at Marquette University and the University of Florida, was a Fulbright scholar at Tampere University, Finland, in 1996, and has been a visiting professor at Tampere, at Lund University in Sweden, and at the Universities of Copenhagen and Odense in Denmark. His areas of specialization are aging and the life course, social interaction, identity, qualitative methods, and narrative analysis. Dr. Gubrium works empirically at the border of ethnography and narrative analysis, combining them in new ways to deal with the perennial problems of linking observational data with transcripts of stories, speech, and other narrative material.
