Opis

This book is devoted to the re-introduction of the remarkable approach to sociological inquiry developed by Harvey Sacks. Drawing together different fields to which Sacks’ work is central, it considers the ways in which his ideas may inform our understanding of new forms of data and materials.

Recenzje

‘With this volume, the editors have created a successful compilation of texts on aspects of Harvey Sacks’ work that is unrivaled in terms of thematic and disciplinary breadth … The authors manage, on the one hand, to present well-known and established topics and perspectives of Sacks’ work and their continuations in different research contexts, and on the other hand to show less explored possibilities for connection.’ - Dominik Gerst, Svenja Heuser and Maximilian Krug, Qualitative Social Research (translation)
