Case Studies and the Dissemination of Knowledge (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Damousi, Joy; Sutton, Katie; Lang, Birgit

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This volume investigates the history of the case study genre and its relationship to different publics and audiences, from patients to social reformers, and from moral crusaders to literary audiences. It interrogates not only how case studies were used to communicate the findings of doctors, lawyers, and psychoanalysts, but also how case studies were used to refute and dispute academic knowledge. Contributors engage with case studies as a site of interdisciplinary negotiations and transnational influences and transferences, including the ways in which larger historical and geopolitical forces shaped a genre central to so many disciplinary and knowledge cultures.
