Interpretive Interactionism

Norman Denzin's Interpretive Interactionism is an excellent handbook on qualitative methods in the postmodern era. His ideas will be enormously helpful to me when I embark on the interpretive/analytic phase of my research, and will help me write up my process notes and even my orientation to the interviews as they are happening. This has helped clarify the goals of my research which is to untangle the meanings embedded in, articulated through, and structuring "the existentially problematic emotional experiences that occur in the lives of ordinary people"
