Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Method in Social Science Revised 2nd Edition
Book SynopsisIn its second edition, Method in Social Science was widely praised for its penetrating analysis of central questions in social science discourse. This revised edition comes with a new preface and a full bibliography. The book is intended for students and researchers familiar with social science but having little or no previous experiences of philosophical and methodological discussion, and for those who are interested in realism and method.Trade Review'A thoroughly absorbing and at times quite stunning book.' - Sociological Review'A challenging, illuminating, clearly written and very useful contribution to the literature.' - Sociology'Sayer's book is refreshing in that it is written in plain English while tackling some major problems of explanation in social science in a rigorous fashion ... it would be eminently suitable reading for a seminar course in methodology.' - Geography'...unconditionally recommended for geographers...This is the most sophisticated and well developed book on geographic method to appear in years. Sayer seeks nothing less than a complete overhaul of discourse in the social sciences.' - Annals of the Association of American Geographers"Sayer is one of the most profound thinkers and researchers of our time – cogent, lucid and provocative on the key issues of our day. Method in Social Science has been an essential guide on epistemology and methodology for 25 years - written not only for researchers and colleagues in the social sciences but also for students." -Mark Smith, Open University, UKTable of ContentsPreface to the Second Edition.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Focus Groups
Book SynopsisFocus Groups: From Structured Interviews to Collective Conversations is a conceptual and practical introduction to focus group. As the title indicates, focus groups traditionally encompass a wide range of discursive practices. These span from formal structured interviews with particular people assembled around clearly delimited topics to less formal, open-ended conversations with large and small groups that can unfold in myriad and unpredictable ways. Additionally, focus groups can and have served many overlapping purposesfrom the pedagogical, to the political, to the traditionally empirical. In this book, focus groups are systematically explored; not as an extension or elaboration of interview work alone, but as its own specific research method with its own particular affordances. This book comprehensively explores: The nature of focus groups Politic and activist uses of focus groups Practical wTable of Contents1. Focus Groups: A Brief and Incomplete History 2. Multiple, Interrelated Functions of Focus Group Work 3. Key Affordances of Focus Group Research 4. Fundamental Elements of Effective Focus Group Research Practice 5. Contemporary Dilemmas and Horizons of Focus Group Research 6. Epilogue

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Companion to Research in the Arts
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Companion to Research in the Arts is a major collection of new writings on research in the creative and performing arts by leading authorities from around the world. It provides theoretical and practical approaches to identifying, structuring and resolving some of the key issues in the debate about the nature of research in the arts which have surfaced during the establishment of this subject over the last decade.Contributions are located in the contemporary intellectual environment of research in the arts, and more widely in the universities, in the strategic and political environment of national research funding, and in the international environment of trans-national cooperation and communication. The book is divided into three principal sections â Foundations, Voices and Contexts â each with an introduction from the editors highlighting the main issues, agreements and debates in each section.The Routledge Companion to Research in the Arts<Trade Review'In view of the quality of the chapters as well as the overall diversity and content of the book, it is difficult to find some weak spots.' – Johan Verbeke, vice-dean FAK 'This book is a wonderful volume of high quality contributions which make this obligatory reading for all researchers and PhD supervisors active in the domain of artistic research and research through design(ing). The book also nicely shows that artistic research merits now its own place in academia and should be given the necessary funds to develop its own discourse and methods.' – Johan Verbeke, vice-dean FAK 'The practice-led PhD, which began in the U.K., is now ubiquitous in several parts of the world. As the doctorate becomes more settled in university life, it becomes increasingly important to reach a balanced understanding of its basic concepts, methods, and outcomes. What is artistic research? How does art create new knowledge? How can a PhD-level art exhibition be assessed for quality? This book is the first comprehensive look at concepts such as research, knowledge, creativity, the visual, experiment, quality, and assessment, as they are used in practice-based programmes influenced by the U.K. and E.U. models of higher education. Now that art is being taught in universities at the doctoral level, it may spur a fundamental rethinking of the university’s basic concepts of professionalism, community, and purpose. For that reason this book is also an irreplaceable resource for those interested in the coherence and idea of the university as a whole.' – James Elkins, The Art Institute of Chicago 'This book is the first comprehensive look at concepts such as research, knowledge, creativity, the visual, experiment, quality, and assessment, as they are used in practice-based programmes influenced by the U.K. and E.U. models of higher education.' – James Elkins, The Art Institute of Chicago 'this book is a wonderful volume of high quality contributions which make this obligatory reading for all researchers and PhD supervisors active in the domain of artistic research and research through design(ing).' – Johan Verbeke, vice-dean FAK 'The Routledge Companion is a rich resource for those engaged in research as academic practitioners, and those teaching masters or supervising doctoral students. In these latter contexts it is useful to those engaged in the discussion of research methods in the arts and provides students with an important sense of context in which their research outputs might find their voice. For academic practitioners, the essays provide a way to consider how practice might be articulated as research, and evidence of a shared research environment in which they can approach this with some authenticity. Each essay is packed with references to what is now becoming a rich literature on arts research and a useful resource through which to explore the complexity and diversity of approaches in the field.' – Dr Tracy Piper-Wright, Glyndwr University, UK Table of ContentsPart I: Foundations Chapter 1: University Politics and Practice-based Research Chapter 2: Pleading for Plurality: artistic and other kinds of research Chapter 3: The Production of Knowledge in Artistic Research Chapter 4: Some Notes on Mode 1 and Mode 2: adversaries or dialogue partners?
