Description
Summary:Traditionally, qualitative content analysis deals with texts and their socio-cultural interpretation. Conversely, cultural historians base their research on primary and secondary sources, while designers focus on material objects. While indeed qualitative content analysis holds many advantages, it can be too broad and may not answer the research needs of design-focused research.

We believe this article will open a new vista to all social sciences researchers dealing with objects as their main research methodology.
