Went to oxegen last weekend. Had never been to a big music festival before. Needed to get away from it all. Made the decision on Friday. Or at least finally convinced Emma to go with me on Friday. SO went awol. Headed up with Emma. Had a good time. Am in danger of turning into an android. Need to get out more! Came back down Sunday night but spent the night in Waterford and came back to Cork monday evening.
Am reading about conversation and discourse analysis. They talk about "talk and text" but there is no turn taking in text. So I don't think conversation analysis will work. Discourse analysis looks more interesting. Still considering grounded theory based on symbolic interactionism (see Charmaz). But want to make an informed choice.
"The pragmatic functions of language" Wood, p. xiv...
Mytext:
Hampshire (1978) is quoted in Wood (p. xi) "Human beings... must pursue at least two ireeplaceable types of inquiry because of their own nature is embodied and self-conscious thinkers. One is an inquiry aiming at a purely theoretical understanding of their own physical functioning, in which human beings are seen as objects that confrom to universal laws of nature; the other is an inquiry aiming at an undesrtanding of their own thinking, and the thinking of others, in various normal social settings and in different languages. (p. 67)". Wood argues that the first concerns objects of inquiry as res naturam and the second as res artem. This study seeks to incorporate both by examining perception (the first) and how we solve problems (the second).
