Böcker av Norman K Denzin

In Qualitative Inquiry in the Present Tense contributors engage with epistemological and philosophical questions concerning the conduct of qualitative inquiry in the present moment, and especially as it relates to various understandings of writing in/as inquiry.Topics addressed include methodological processes, questions of narrative uprootedness, relational inquiry, Indigenous ethico-onto-epistemologies, storytelling, and transformative writing forms and practices. This is a messy, often unruly collection (in the best way possible) of disparate ideas strung tightly together by literal and metaphorical questions of the research act of writing. Contributors from the United States, Australia, Canada, England, and Scotland imaginatively conceive of new qualitative futures--and how we might write ourselves there.This evocative new book is a must-read for faculty and students alike who are interested in and engaged with questions and ideas oriented toward understanding our current historical present in qualitative research--a moment in which the field is perpetually in motion or in flux, with new theories, methods, and orientations arising, competing, and even contradicting one another.

Qualitative Inquiry in Transition--Pasts, Presents, & Futures: A Critical Reader gathers more than 30 internationally-renowned scholars in qualitative inquiry present provocative interventions into the politics of research, philosophy of inquiry, justice matters, and writing practices.Drawn from a decade of cutting-edge plenary volumes emanating from the annual International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry, these contributors and their chapters represent the leading edge of scholarship that has pushed the field forward over the last decade. Topics discussed include the research marketplace, data entanglements, the neoliberal university, Indigenous methodologies, slow research, performative ethics, intersectionality, civically-engaged research, post-qualitative inquiry and the new materialisms, collaborative research, poetic inquiry, academic writing, and the future of the field. These and other topics comprise a moving--rather than static--center to the field, one that moves across contexts and ontologies, moves between agreement and disagreement, forges new collaborations and informs new inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches to research.Qualitative Inquiry in Transition--Pasts, Presents, & Futures: A Critical Reader will be required reading for those seeking to understand where the field of qualitative inquiry has been and will look to go in the years to come.

The new volume from the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry examines how qualitative research is changing in and responding to time of wholesale, seismic global change. It shows the role qualitative inquiry can play in issues of social justice and how we live in the world in times of unprecedented change.

Norman Denzin shows how artistic representations of Little Big Horn demonstrate the changing perceptions often racist of Native America by the majority culture in this multilayered performance ethnography"

Offers a history of the field of qualitative inquiry.

Yellowstone - Sacagawea - Lewis & Clark - Transcontinental railroad - Indians as college mascots - all are iconic figures, symbols of the West in the Anglo-American imagination. This title interrogates each of these icons for their cultural meaning.

Norman Denzin uses a series of performance pieces with historical, contemporary, and fictitious characters to provide a cultural critique of how a version of Indians, one that existed only in the western imagination, was commodified and sold to a global audience.
