Rezensionen

Ellingson offers a compelling argument for acknowledging the already embodied nature of qualitative research, and flexible tools for embracing embodiment as a methodological resource. Embodiment in Qualitative Research is the book qualitative researchers have been waiting for-a must-read for scholars committed to reflexive and socially responsive qualitative research.

Professor Lynn M. Harter, Co-Director, Barbara Geralds Institute for Storytelling and Social Impact, Ohio University



For years poststructuralist and posthumanist researchers have been making important arguments about why bodies matter. Through her engaging and enlightening text, Laura L. Ellingson shows us how. By asking and answering important questions about how we embody the research we do, Ellingson has created a valuable sourcebook for researchers. This well-researched, well-articulated book is nothing short of a game changer for qualitative inquiry.

Jimmie Manning, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Communication, Northern Illinois University



Ellingson does it again, reimagining and and rearticulating the qualitative landscape in this heartfelt, theoretically-informed, and unapologetically eclectic book on how to "do body" in qualitative research. In an era that celebrates the largely disembodied activities of online data collection and data analysis through computer software, Ellingson pragmatically and vulnerably shows how and why embodied humanity-in all its imperfection and overflowing abundance-is valuable at every stage of the qualitative research process.

Laura provides eloquent examples where she creatively writes her own and others' bodies into her research. Reading these descriptively rich and flowing sections of prose, I felt like I was getting to know Laura, her passion for research, her attention to specific details in the field, her quirky way of reflecting on her own disability, and her strange hankering for sugar-free fizzy pop.
