Description
Since the structuralist debates of the 1970s, textual analysis has remained largely within literary theory's domain, whilst social scientists have accepted observation as theory-laden yet treated text meaning as fixed, attributing interpretation differences to ignorance or bias. Peter Ekegren's contribution to methodological debate draws on developments in literary criticism, philosophy and critical theory to reclaim textual study for the social sciences. This volume illuminates how different readings of a single text emerge and why interpretation varies across scholarly communities. Part of the Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought series, it addresses a fundamental gap in social science methodology by demonstrating that texts require active interpretive engagement rather than passive meaning extraction. The work bridges literary and social science approaches, offering researchers practical frameworks for rigorous textual analysis that acknowledges meaning's constructed nature.
