These spaces have the capacity to produce powerful, systematic analyses that break the spell of concept proliferation and its resultant naively realist approach to explaining the world. Through an exploration of key examples and series of original case studies, the authors demonstrate the application of this approach across a variety of empirical settings and academic disciplines. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 206 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 September 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book takes a critical stance on the excessive production and proliferation of concepts in modern social research. It offers a unique methodological approach by examining one of the most underappreciated yet widely employed conventions for analyzing social processes: the creation of diagrammatic relational spaces. These spaces are designed to capture social processes in a way that avoids reductive and essentialist categories, enabling the generation of powerful and systematic analyses that challenge the dominance of concept proliferation and its naively realist approach to understanding the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough an exploration of key examples and a series of original case studies, the authors demonstrate the practical application of this approach across various empirical settings and academic disciplines. They provide a relational and pragmatic approach to social research that contrasts with current trends characterized by supposedly self-evident data and disconnected theory. As such, this book makes a significant contribution to some of the core questions in contemporary social research and has the potential to provoke and revitalize discussions about method across different fields of practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 295g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 x 11 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367494872\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Russell Dudley-Smith,Natasha Whiteman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103700349178,"sku":"9780367494872","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646328905035_book.jpg?v=1646979575","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/diagramming-the-social-relational-method-in-research-9780367494872","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
