Produktbeschreibung
This book provides a new framework for conducting qualitative research into Asylum Seeking Refugees based on Emmanuel Levinas' ethic of the face-to-face encounter. The methodology originates in the term Midrash-a narrative form that exposes; investigates; searches. It reconceptualises encounters between Asylum Seeking Refugees and those researching their experiences in a manner that moves beyond the possibility of 'Othering' and the removal of 'voice' that can characterise research into refugees. This methodology allows a complex and rich multidimensional text, with heterogeneity of voices, experiences, and subjects. As a phenomenological method of research, the internal phenomena of the researcher-feeling, intuition, and personal perception-are legitimate sites of knowledge and understanding, and are not considered separate from the external, objectively observable world.

TheMidrash methodology is an honest and explicit method of research designed to (re)invigorated the passion of academics and researchers.
