"This handbook presents an encyclopedic treatment of the contours of constructionism as a theoretical stance and an empirical endeavor. Organized around disciplinary domains, empirical topics, and methodological strategies, the book addresses the historical foundations of constructionism as well as current challenges facing constructionist work. Remarkably, the editors have resisted the temptation to sacrifice depth for scope; instead, they cover immense empirical and theoretical territory in a sophisticated yet accessible way. This is a 'must have' resource for students and scholars committed to understanding what social realities are constructed, how they come into being, and the consequences for understanding and ameliorating social problems."--Valerie Jenness, Department of Criminology, Law and Society, and Department of Sociology, University of California, Irvine
"Holstein and Gubrium have edited one of the most exciting and innovative research handbooks of the last decade. This highly pluralistic, intellectually stimulating, and thoroughly comprehensive work presents the many varied facets and perspectives contained within constructionist approaches to research. The more than 50 contributors include an impressive, international cohort of writers from multiple disciplines. Of particular interest to applied psychology are excellent chapters on interviewing, psychological inquiry, therapy, emotion, the body, and the philosophical and historical foundations of constructionist inquiry. This book belongs on the desks of all clinical, counseling, health, and educational psychologists who are interested in current ontological and epistemological discussions around research, knowledge generation, and meaning making. A welcome, nuanced, and decidedly readable text."--Paul M. Camic, Research Director, Clinical Psychology Program, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
"The time is ripe for this handbook, and Holstein and Gubrium--foundational voices in constructionist discourse--are the persons to do it. The field has matured and come of age, surviving four decades of conflict and controversy. Its future is exciting and promising. This handbook takes the constructionist mosaic into a new century. The field owes Holstein and Gubrium a huge debt for so brilliantly managing this project."--Norman K. Denzin, College of Communications Scholar, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
"It would be difficult to imagine a more complete compendium on the state of constructionism at this time. The editors have taken great care to cover the theoretical underpinnings of constructionism, its anchors in the disciplines, its methodological deployments, and a range of applications, including gender, medicine and therapy, race and ethnicity, emotions, and others. For those committed to the constructionist approach to phenomenological research, there is no better guide to the many practices and theoretical avenues from which to choose, nor could anyone find a better set of discussions of how social constructionist/constructivist philosophies might be utilized with differing methodological strategies and texts."--Yvonna S. Lincoln, College of Education and Human Development, Texas A&M University
"Amid a plethora of handbooks, this one stands out. It tracks the diffusions, foundations, controversies, and remarkable empirical fruitfulness of constructionism in the social sciences. The authors come from multiple disciplines, and the volume is unusually coherent for an edited work. I was particularly struck by what gets 'talked into being' in the name of a constructionism invested in critically taking stock of its analytic and empirical ambitions, intellectual antecedents, new directions, and continuing challenges. From Strauss, Foucault, and Berger and Luckmann to what is on the horizon, from ethnomethodology to cultural studies, across issues of agency and determinism, typologies, traditions, and new imaginaries, I got a taste of the future in this collection, which should stand the test of serving as a resource for quite some time to come."--Patti Lather, author of Getting Lost: Feminist Efforts Toward a Double(d) Science
"Although this book offers an outstanding overview of how constructionist research is conducted across the social sciences and applied fields, it achieves something even more substantial. It challenges both professor and student to question the very foundations of their theoretical claims and scientific practices. The work presented in these pages is provocative, creative, and rich in interpretive and social analysis. This handbook is ideal for seminar discussion and should be on the shelf of every researcher who aspires to apply a constructionist lens to his or her field of study."--Jefferson A. Singer, PhD, Dean of the College and Faulk Foundation Professor of Psychology, Connecticut College
Constructionism has become one of the most popular research approaches in the social sciences. But until now, little attention has been given to the conceptual and methodological underpinnings of the constructionist stance, and the remarkable diversity within the field. This cutting-edge handbook brings together a dazzling array of scholars to review the foundations of constructionist research, how it is put into practice in multiple disciplines, and where it may be headed in the future. The volume critically examines the analytic frameworks, strategies of inquiry, and methodological choices that together form the mosaic of contemporary constructionism, making it an authoritative reference for anyone interested in conducting research in a constructionist vein.
