Abstract

My proposal is a methodological reflection of newer developments in qualitative research and discusses approaches such as Performance Ethnography and Autoethnography being increasingly considered as a renewal of qualitative research. I will focus on the methodological foundation of these performative social sciences, especially postmodern / poststructuralist assumptions concerning the poetics and politics of interpretation, and discuss them in light of German traditions of qualitative research.
