Synopsis

`The book has a solid practical feel to it, and although it deals philosophically with leading theorists such as Foucault, Goffman, Bourdieu and Hall it grounds the practice of visual research into everyday use... Weaved cleverly throughout are numerous practical exercises which draw together the theoretical concepts and give them a grounded rational element. This book is a valuable research tool and I would anticipate that many researchers will find it a worthwhile addition to their armoury' - Mental Health Care

Providing a comprehensive introduction to the entire field of visual research, this book reviews the contributions of traditions as diverse as semiotics, ethnomethodology, symbolic interactionism and

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

My current research interests are primarily informed by ethnomethodology and are largely focused on the analysis of conversational interaction, in particular on talk in institutional settings. Between 1999 and 2002 I was a co-recipient of a large ARC grant investigating expert-lay communication on a computer software helpline. Since then I have extended this program of inquiry in a number of directions. One is concerned with the organization of troubles telling and advice giving on a national Australian Children's helpline and the impact that technological modality (ie telephone, web-counseling and email) has on these phenomena. A second project, which is in its early stages, is examining interaction between parents and nurses on the Queensland Child Health line.
