SKAD and Situational Analysis Workshop at the Tenth International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry

Workshop on SKAD and Situational Analysis (together with Adele Clarke) at the

Tenth International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry, May 21-24, 2014,

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (U.S.)

Workshop Title: Mapping Discourses

Thursday, 8:30 - 11:30am

Situational Analysis (Sage, 2005), developed by Adele Clarke, offers powerful suggestions for moving grounded theory around the postmodern turn, drawing upon Foucault and others. One main strategy is integrating discourse analysis into GT-research. Situational Analysis proposes the use of positional maps in order to account for discourses as elements of situations, aspects often unattended to in American qualitative research. The sociology of knowledge approach to discourse (SKAD), developed by German sociologist Reiner Keller, is now available in English (Doing Discourse Research, Sage, 2012). Situated in the interpretative paradigm it draws on Berger & Luckmann’s sociology of knowledge and also includes Foucauldian concepts. SKAD’s theoretical basics, methodological reflections and methods of discourse research share common arguments with Situational Analysis while proposing tools like the analysis of interpretative schemes, classifications, structures of phenomena and others.

The session will introduce the basics of both Situational Analysis and SKAD, concentrating on concrete tools and ways of doing research and mapping discourses.
