Download or read book Transforming Qualitative Data written by Harry F. Wolcott and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1994-02-18 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher's description: After the glamour of working in the field is over, you now face the daunting challenge of transforming your field notes and interview tapes into a completed study. But where do you start? In Transforming Qualitative Data, Harry F. Wolcott guides you through the process of completing your research study. Beginning with an introductory chapter that presents his views on ethnography, he explores the transformation process by breaking it down into three related activities: description, analysis, and interpretation. To illustrate each point, he critically examines his own work, using nine of his previous studies as illustrations. Then he shows you how to learn--and to teach--qualitative research by applying the three principles outlined in the volume. Written with the usual wit and brilliance shown in Wolcott's work, Transforming Qualitative Data is a major statement on doing research by one of the master ethnographers of our time.

Download or read book The New Rhetoric written by Chaïm Perelman and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 1991-09-30 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Rhetoric is founded on the idea that since “argumentation aims at securing the adherence of those to whom it is addressed, it is, in its entirety, relative to the audience to be influenced,” says Chaïm Perelman and L. Olbrechts-Tyteca, and they rely, in particular, for their theory of argumentation on the twin concepts of universal and particular audiences: while every argument is directed to a specific individual or group, the orator decides what information and what approaches will achieve the greatest adherence according to an ideal audience. This ideal, Perelman explains, can be embodied, for example, "in God, in all reasonable and competent men, in the man deliberating or in an elite.” Like particular audiences, then, the universal audience is never fixed or absolute but depends on the orator, the content and goals of the argument, and the particular audience to whom the argument is addressed. These considerations determine what information constitutes "facts" and "reasonableness" and thus help to determine the universal audience that, in turn, shapes the orator's approach. The adherence of an audience is also determined by the orator's use of values, a further key concept of the New Rhetoric. Perelman's treatment of value and his view of epideictic rhetoric sets his approach apart from that of the ancients and of Aristotle in particular. Aristotle's division of rhetoric into three genres–forensic, deliberative, and epideictic–is largely motivated by the judgments required for each: forensic or legal arguments require verdicts on past action, deliberative or political rhetoric seeks judgment on future action, and epideictic or ceremonial rhetoric concerns values associated with praise or blame and seeks no specific decisions. For Aristotle, the epideictic genre was of limited importance in the civic realm since it did not concern facts or policies. Perelman, in contrast, believes not only that epideictic rhetoric warrants more attention, but that the values normally limited to that genre are in fact central to all argumentation. "Epideictic oratory," Perelman argues, "has significant and important argumentation for strengthening the disposition toward action by increasing adherence to the values it lauds.” These values are central to the persuasiveness of arguments in all rhetorical genres since the orator always attempts to "establish a sense of communion centered around particular values recognized by the audience.”

Download or read book L cole des sages femmes written by and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protéger l'homme "au moment où il arrive au port de la vie", telle est la mission que les gouvernements français, de l'Ancien Régime à la IIIe République, assignent aux sages-femmes. Accompagnatrices des mères et désormais membres du corps médical, les sages-femmes se sont constituées au cours du XIXe siècle en profession scientifique, détentrice d'un savoir riche et varié. Partout en France, leur formation a occupé administrateurs et médecins, faisant naître des dizaines d'écoles départementales, dont le dynamisme n'a souvent eu que peu à envier à l'école de l'Hospice de la Maternité de Paris. Du cours hospitalier à la véritable école-maternité, les institutions de formation ont accueilli en un siècle des dizaines de milliers de jeunes femmes qui, leur diplôme en main, se sont faites dans les campagnes les "institutrices du système de santé" français. Lettrées, compétentes et respectées, les sages-femmes ont ainsi fait bénéficier leurs patientes d'une qualité de soins acquise aux meilleures sources du savoir obstétrical. Légitimées par leur formation et le monopole que l'Etat leur accorde face aux matrones, elles ont mis au monde l'essentiel de la population française, ont vacciné des générations de nouveau-nés et se sont faites les chantres de l'hygiène pasteurienne dès ses débuts. L'histoire de l'émergence de ce corps professionnel, né d'une volonté politique et du consentement des accoucheuses, est riche d'enseignements pour les enjeux contemporains de la naissance et de ses acteurs.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La légalisation de la profession de sage-femme en 1999 au Québec est un phénomène significatif dans le système de santé québécois. Cependant face à l'incompréhension qu'elle suscite, cet ouvrage nous permet de comprendre ce que signifie ce savoir-faire en partant de la période des années 1980. Ce travail doctoral est organisé grâce à des données recueillies au moyen d'entrevues auprès de quinze sages-femmes ayant exercé au Québec. Le thème le plus révélateur qui se dégage est « tenir l'espace ». Nous comprenons donc ce qu'est la pratique sage-femme : « être là ». Alors que dominent la biomédecine, la démarche du livre est une invitation aux sages-femmes à continuer à « être gardiennes », tant pour elles que pour les femmes en quête de réappropriation du monde, le leur.
