an introduction to qualitative research interviewing
1 online resource (xvii, 326 pages) : illustrations
Interviewing is an essential tool in the repertoire of the qualitative researcher, and yet the intricate relationship between the "hows" and the "whys" of the interview process is not always easily understood. Steinar Kvale's InterViews provides both theoretical underpinnings and practical aspects of the interview process. After examining the role of the interview in the research process, Kvale considers some of the key philosophical issues relating to interviewing: the interview as conversation, hermeneutics, phenomenology, concerns about ethics as well as validity, and post-modernism. Having laid out the framework, the author takes the reader through the seven stages of the interviewing process, from designing a study to writing it up.
Interviewing as research -- The interview as a conversation -- Postmodern thought, hermeneutics, phenomenology and dialectics -- Qualitative research in science and in practice -- Thematizing and designing an interview study -- Ethical issues of interviews -- The interview situation -- Quality of the interview -- From speech to text -- The 1000-page question -- Methods of analysis -- The plurality of interpretations -- The social construction of validity -- Improving interview reports -- Conversations about interviews.
