′This is an excellent collection of papers which celebrates the best
of traditional approaches to fieldwork, whilst also looking to its
future. The Handbook will quickly become essential reading for the
novice and experienced fieldworker across many of the social
sciences′ - Chris Pole, University of Leicester Fieldwork is widely
practiced but little written about, yet accounts of the exotic,
mundane, complex and often dangerous are central to not only sociology
and anthropology but also geography, social psychology and
criminology. In all these - increasingly overlapping - fields,
experience underlies any comprehensive understanding of social life.
The SAGE Handbook of Fieldwork presents the first major overview of
this method in all its variety, introducing the reader to the
strengths, weaknesses, and ′real world′ applications of fieldwork
techniques. Its 22 carefully chosen chapters are each based on a
substantive field of empirical enquiry, written by an acknowledged
expert in the field. The range is impressive: from the traditional to
the virtual, concerning subjects as diverse as emotion, sexuality,
sport, embodiment, identity, self-narrative, fieldwork in
organizations, science and technology. Specifically intended for use
in undergraduate and postgraduate courses in qualitative research
design and methodology in sociology, anthropology, criminology, urban
studies, social geography, public health and education, the handbook
will also prove beneficial to academic researchers in these and other
disciplines.
