Field conversations as a data source in qualitative social research

2020

Sammendrag Denne artikkelen belyser feltsamtaler som forskningsverktøy. Feltsamtaler er ofte usynlige og underkommunisert i den vitenskapelige litteraturen. Samtalene lar seg vanskelig tallfeste og beskrive; de mangler tilsynelatende systematikk og framstår gjerne bare som hverdagslig prat.

2017

What do clients/patients want or value from their encounters with healthcare providers?

Everydayness is accomplished through three generic social processes: **co-silence, inclusion in back-stage activity, and physical dramatizations of authenticity. These processes and other ordinary interactional strategies for “being human together” should be seen as vital tools for recovery.
