FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Bringing in elements of postmodernism and interpretive social science, Denzin re-examines the biographical and autobiographical genres as methods for qualitative researchers. The book points up the inherent weaknesses in traditional biographical forms, and outlines a new way in which biographies should be conceptualized and shaped. The book provides a guide to the assumptions of the biographical method, to its key terms, and to the strategies for gathering and interpreting such materials. Denzin introduces the key concept of epiphany, or turning points in persons lives. Along the way, a host of examples are provided from the authors own work and others, making this an extremely useful volume for qualitative researchers. Author Biography Norman K.
