Description
Summary:This case study describes how the authors re-analyzed interview data from the first author's dissertation study to shed light on the relational and cultural discourses surrounding the context of commuter marriage. This re-analysis used a method called `contrapuntal analysis', a methodological outgrowth of communication scholar Leslie Baxter's Relational Dialectics Theory. After the background of the original study is described and the basic procedure of Baxter's contrapuntal analysis is explained, the authors detail how they went about conducting the analysis.
