Produktbeschreibung
This edited volume gathers top scholars from across disciplines, generations, and countries to provide constructive commentary on the theory, methods and practices of institutional ethnography. These contributions explore themes of relevance to institutional ethnographers that are both enduring and newly emerging: how institutional ethnographers can take an expanded view of social institutions, how they might explore the dynamics of ruling relations over time, what results from understanding experience as dialogue (including internal or in-skull dialogue), the significance of "standpoint," and the opportunities for institutional ethnographers to move beyond texts as they discover and describe social relations.

A key aspect of Critical Commentary on Institutional Ethnography, and one that distinguishes it from others, is the forward-looking orientation of the authors. This perspective allows them to establish bridges between the institutional ethnography that hasbeen developed heretofore and the potential that is looming for such a mode of inquiry into the social. As such, the book is both informative and inspirational.
