Brugen af kvalitative metoder inden for sociologien og beslægtede fag har i løbet af de sidste ti år gennemgået en markant udvikling. Strømninger som konstruktivisme og interaktionisme, der fremstiller sandhed og mening som sociale konstruktioner, stiller forskeren over for nye udfordringer. Nye spørgsmål trænger sig på:· Hvordan påvirker intervieweren de svar, han eller hun får?· Hvilke muligheder og begrænsninger giver det interaktionistiske perspektiv på observationsstudier?· Hvilke konsekvenser får det, at et dokument ikke anskues som noget []i sig selv[], men først får betydning, når det indgår i en social situation?[]Kvalitative metoder i et interaktionistisk perspektiv[] undersøger, hvad det betyder, når forskeren selv bliver en medspiller i meningsproduktionen, og den virkelighed, der skal beskrives, ikke længere er et stabilt fænomen.Antologien retter sig mod studerende og undervisere på universiteter og andre højere læreanstalter. Margaretha Järvinen er professor ved Sociologisk Institut på Københavns Universitet og Socialforskningsinstituttet. Nanna Mik-Meyer er adjunkt ved Institut for Ledelse, Politik og Filosofi på Copenhagen Business School.
