Taylor & Francis The Drama of Social Life A Dramaturgical Handbook
Book SynopsisWhatever else they may be doing, human beings are also and always expressing themselves whenever they are in the awareness of others. As such, the metaphor of life as theater - of people playing roles to audiences who review them and then coordinate further action - is an ancient idea that has been resurrected by social scientists as an organizing simile for the analysis and understanding of social life. The Drama of Social Life examines this dramaturgical approach to social life, bringing together the latest original work from leading contemporary dramaturgical thinkers across the social sciences. Thematically organized, it explores: the work of classical and contemporary thinkers who have contributed most to this theoretical framework the foundational concepts of the dramaturgical approach a rich array of substantive areas of empirical investigation to which dramaturgy continues to contribute directions for future dramaturgical thinking. An indispensable collection that updates and extends the dramaturgical framework, The Drama of Social Life will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, social psychology, performance studies, cultural studies, communication, film studies, and anthropology - and all those interested in the work of Goffman and symbolic interactionist theory and practice.Trade Review’The Drama of Social Life is a joy to read and a treasure trove for social analysts! It offers a unique, engaging, and clear-sighted explication of dramaturgical theory, highlighting not only its origins and foundational concepts, but also its contemporary applications and future directions. The editor, Charles Edgley, masterfully compiles a collection of essays that reveal the power and value of the dramaturgical perspective, particularly by illuminating how people create and enact meanings, identities, and social worlds.’ Kent Sandstrom, North Dakota State University, USA 'This collection is both coherent and cohesive. Edgley has compiled a fine assortment of essays here. They are sufficiently diverse, but are necessarily bounded by a commitment to demonstrating and explicating the dramatic character of social life. And, as sociologists of the everyday, we appreciate that this is the only drama on which the curtains will never close.' Symbolic InteractionTable of ContentsThe Drama of Social Life

Taylor & Francis Ltd Feminist Speculations and the Practice of
Book SynopsisFeminist Speculations and the Practice of Research-Creation provides a unique introduction to research-creation as a methodology, and a series of exemplifications of research-creation projects in practice with a range of participants including secondary school students, artists, and academics.In conversation with leading scholars in the field, the book outlines research-creation as transdisciplinary praxis embedded in queer-feminist anti-racist politics. It provides a methodological overview of how the author approaches research-creation projects at the intersection of literary arts, textuality, artistic practice, and pedagogies of writing, drawing on concepts related to the feminist materialisms, including speculative thought, affect theories, queer theory, and process philosophy. Further, it troubles representationalism in qualitative research in the arts. The book demonstrates how research-creation operates through the making of or curating of art or cultural prodTrade Review"In this wide-ranging study, Sarah E. Truman argues for research-creation as a situated speculative feminist approach to education in our times. Drawing on everything from Twitter bot interventions and postcard excursions, to walking and writing workshops with high school students, Truman foregrounds queer, anti-racist thinking in our spaces of teaching and learning, offering a clear, cogent discussion of research-creation as an interdisciplinary methodology that defamiliarizes and challenges normative educational models. A vital book for anyone attuned to social and ecological justice, art, and pedagogy today." -- Natalie Loveless, Associate Professor, Contemporary Art History and Theory, University of Alberta, Canada; Director, Research-Creation and Social Justice CoLaboratory "In this book, Sarah E. Truman brings a vibrant array of theoretical lenses with which to creatively rethink and redo educational theorizing and methods. Written in compelling critical prose, Truman models her creative thinking practice throughout each chapter of the text. This ground-breaking book is of interest to emerging and experienced researchers who are turning to speculative methods in a time when conventional and empirical methods have failed to address and represent the affective elements of educational events and relations. I highly recommend this text to scholars grappling with how to think, examine, do, and compose education in and as the uncertainty of our times." -- Aparna Mishra Tarc, Associate Professor Graduate Program Director, Culture, Language & Teaching, York University, Canada"It is hard to imagine a better traveling companion than Sarah E. Truman. She knows how to forge entirely original paths through the thickets of contemporary theory and pedagogic encounters, artfully, ethically, critically, with such immense feeling. Sarah knows when to use a map and how to make your own, and it is usually the latter. Trust her guidance! And rest assured: there will always be pee breaks." -- Gregory J.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Semantic Network Analysis in Social Sciences
Book SynopsisSemantic Network Analysis in Social Sciences introduces the fundamentals of semantic network analysis and its applications in the social sciences. Readers learn how to easily transform any given text into a visual network of words co-occurring together, a process that allows mapping the main themes appearing in the text and revealing its main narratives and biases.Semantic network analysis is particularly useful today with the increasing volumes of text-based information available. It is one of the developing, cutting-edge methods to organize, identify patterns and structures, and understand the meanings of our information society. The first chapters in this book offer step-by-step guidelines for conducting semantic network analysis, including choosing and preparing the text, selecting desired words, constructing the networks, and interpreting their meanings. Free software tools and code are also presented. The rest of the book displays state-of-the-art studies from Table of Contents1. How to Conduct Semantic Network Analysis Elad Segev2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Crafting Collaborative Research Methodologies
Book SynopsisCrafting Collaborative Research Methodologies demonstrates a number of collaborative, visual and narrative methods that explore the promises and the ethical, relational complexities inherent in collaborative research. It engages with both the potentials and complexities of doing collaborative analysis and offers a medley of methods for analysis. These methods revolve around co-produced texts from Peru, Denmark and Bolivia, and involve images, memory work and practical approaches to intersectionality thinking. Through detailed explorations of the complex interweaving of issues of meaning-making, difference and the co-production of knowledges, dynamics of social exclusion and segregation become visible in the nexus between evocation and interpretation. Christina Hee Pedersen takes up the poststructuralist challenge of including researcher subjectivity as part of the analysis and, through a lively writing style, the reader is invited to engage in this analysis ofTrade Review"Christina Hee Pedersen’s book grapples with the subject matter of evocative and analytical responses to texts produced through memory work, separating while also linking these two different modes, and showing how a double move like this makes it possible to explore intersectional dynamics in ways which create community while also opening up for possibilities of social change. The book is a happy and fruitful meeting between theory and experience. It is a well written, original and innovative contribution to ongoing discussions about collaborative analysis, rooted in decades of experience of political activism, teaching and research." -- Signe Arnfred, Associate Professor, Roskilde University, Denmark.Table of Contents1.
