| Summary |
This volume seeks to address the emerging relationships between qualitative research and digital data. It examines and engages with the ambivalence of digitization, illuminating the diverse ways in which researchers approach, negotiate, understand and interpret objects and practices of digital research. The chapters in this volume are organized around four key themes: researching impacts of digitization on social worlds; researching uses of digital data within social worlds; researching digital visualization of social worlds; and researching with digital data and methods. -- Edited summary from book |
