Kurzfassung:
Given the anthropological focus on ethnography as a kind of deep immersion, the interview poses theoretical and methodological challenges for the discipline. This volume explores those challenges and argues that the interview should be seen as a special, productive site of ethnographic encounter, a site of a very particular and important kind of knowing. In a range of social contexts and cultural settings, contributors show how the interview is experienced and imagined as a kind of space within which personal, biographic and social cues and norms can be explored and interrogated. The interview possesses its own authenticity, therefore - true to the persons involved and true to their moment of interaction - whilst at the same time providing information on human capacities and proclivities that is generalizable beyond particular social and cultural contexts. Review: " - a diverse group of scholars who have a broad range of experience as ethnographers and whose work with interviews, life stories and biography highlight the extraordinariness of social encounters." * Tamara Kohn, University of Melbourne "Each chapter is well written and has something interesting ... to say about interviewing... All in all, a genuinely absorbing read which has prompted me to think about interviewing in new ways." * Peter Collins, Durham University
