I am a relatively recent convert to qualitative research.  I would like to
find a few definitive (or at least helpful) books on hermeneutics.  Can
you recommend one?

        Hermeneutics, My favorite subject!  Some books (and a couple of
        articles I have found helpful are listed below.  Gadamer's _Truth
        and Method_ is particularly good and a classic as is Stanley Fish.
        Edward Said thoughtfully extends Fish's work and is a critical
        look at many of the power elements which are latent in text
        cultures.  Walter Ong and Havelock explore the impact of text
        and textual hermenuetics on thought and are well worth reading.
        Cann't wait to here other peoples suggestions.

I am new to Qualrs-l so stop me if this is a worn question.  What advice
can people off on journals which are receptive to qualitative pieces?
I do research on the psychology of human-right advocacy.  In other words,
I look at why people address human needs in groups of which they
themselves are not members.  I work primarily with interview data, both
group and individual.  Any recommendations or general words of wisdom?
Thanks.

Comments: To: QUALRS-L@uga.cc.uga.edu

Just a personal note in response to Dr. Bud's discussion of critique
and the impact of researcher on the colonization of participants (read:
formerly called subjects).  I agree wholeheartedly with your concerns.
And yet one of the most liberating aspects of qualitative research is
that giving voice to the experience of others no longer means objectifying
them.  I suddenly become part of the "empirical" experience and find that
the process of research has immediate effects.  For example, I have watched
how I have been part of focus groups' struggle to understand their own
experience.  Together we construct the answers to my questions and theirs.
I have found the results both professionally and personally gratifying.
Not to mention that the quality of the data is much improved.  Contrary to
my recent training in graduate school, I've come to hold that authentic
respect for participants requires that I not objectify them by assuming the
role of dispassionate and detached observer.  This may be old hat for
veterans but for a neophyte researcher, this is liberation!

	My "informants" (I'm an anthropologist) here in Japan are extremely
bright, literate women all with at least one to two years college or grad
school education in the US and some with much more.  Thus, it seemed like the
ideal place to do research of a more participatory nature.  However, cultural
norms interfere in a rather interesting way.  When I present papers here about
my research returnee women will come up afterwards and tell me how much they
felt I was talking to their own experiences or they will ask for clarification
during the Q&A period.  But, it is very difficult to get them to actually
critique any of the papers that I have written from an academic perspective.
This is usually not done in Japan since you do not want to hurt someones's
feelings or you cannot question a superior in the hierarchy and everyone is
related hierarchically especially in academics.  Thus, the very same women
who will speak up and correct my wrong impressions during interviews become
reticent in other settings.  I do not know how to get around this.
	Has anyone esle had similar reactions with their research populations?
Let me know if you have.

Comments: To: QUALRS-L@uga.cc.uga.edu

Can the human mind avoid labelling?  Is not "knowing" enmeshed with
naming?  I agree that categorization is a mechanism for control but is
it necessarily evil, is control universally bad?  Isn't trying to
understand (a unique human activity) an attempt to control my
experience in the world by being able to predict and impact my world?
I predict and understand through first labeling and categorizing my
observations.  Later I manipulate those labels to make sense of the
world.  Whether I do this for evil or good is not the fault of the fact
that I label and categorize, that fault lies elsewhere.  And unless I can
label and categorize, I can't even identify evil the next time it comes
around.  I would then hold that neither control nor labeling are in
and of themselves evil.  Besides, without them I could no longer label
myself a social scientist nor academic?

Subject: RE: intercultural communication

Fran,

You ask, "how do various cultures use symbolism to define spirituality?"
I find this a hard question because there are more definitions of
spirituality than I care to admit.  To some it is a specific aspect of
experience and to others it is a broad way of defining life.  I would have
to ask you what definition of spirituality you use in your work, or what
definition are you building?

I would think that your question is a good one for qualitative research.
When you ask about intercultural symbols the first thing that comes to mind
is Jung and "archetypes."  Then of course there's all the literature on
mythology (abstracting its "interculturalism," so to speak).  But is this
at all what you are talking about?

A list that is very very active now is called qualrs-l. It stands for
qualitative research. I've written some things about CA/Ethno on there
but it is more inclusive. It's certainly worth your subscribing to it.

Address a message (interactive or mail) to LISTSERV@UGA and write:
SUB QUALRS-L Peter Grahame

By the way, I announced the Ethno/CA conference on qualrs-l already.

I think you have the difference in expectations of "text analysis" vs
"statistical analysis" well in hand.  The former allows more of your
discoveries to remain in computer memory (diskware) and you need rely
much less on faulty memory after reading thousands of words.  It often
allows you to concentration upon your analysis and saves much of the effort
of trying to keep track of those many little discoveries.
The latter is more often interested in trying to generate less to examine
and evaluate vs. find all the relationship you can in what may be voluminous
material because of lack of a priori expectations--and thus a priori filtered
data.

Hope that makes some sense.

How do we know the utility of something (a paper, an abstract, or whatever)
until we have had the opportunity to peruse it?  Why did I order copies of
papers when I was a graduate student?  Because our library did not carry
every journal.  (I am very pleased to have in my file the three first
papers published on the "DNA helix".  It has much more interesting information
than the hundreds of summaries that have occurred in every freshman biology
text since.)  Why do I occasionally order a reprint today--we get only
three journals related primarily to lichens--one is duplicated in my own
library, but there are several others that neither of us seems able to
afford--it turns out to be the only effective means I have of following one
of the workers in one of our northern states.  He publishes in regional
journals that I would otherwise probably NEVER see.

I am very much a neophyte to qualitative research software but from
the investigation I have done it appears that the goal is not to use
to software to "analyze" the data but only to sort and manipulate it
in more sophisticated ways more effeciently.  For example, from the
literature supplied with "The Ethnograph" it appears as though the
limitations I experienced coding and sorting using 4x6 cards have been
addressed.  I have yet to learn the software but if the documentation
is accurate I hope it will enhance my creativity by allowing me to more
quickly do things with my data then cards allowed.  For those out there

qualitative research, curriculum, and and sports into a multicultural
frame is representative of the experience that I and many of my colleagues
who do qualitative research have experienced.  It seems that many either reject
or do not grasp holistic understandings that our work addresses.  In presenting
our work in we are often asked to describe what are complex and interactive fin
dings in simplistic and/or linear ways that betray many of the most important
aspects of what we have to say.  We are asked to explain very basic aspects of
our method in detailed manner, that  would never be required of quantitative
reports.  In the case of my own work in student motivation, I find that many
of the gatekeepers recognize only quantitatively generated constructs, and are
quite uncomfortable that my theoretical base includes constructivism, feminism,
and critical theory.  I would appreciate a dialogue on the list about how we
might deal with these problems.
