A NOTE ON INTER-VIEWING: USING SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONISM FOR INTERVIEW ANALYSIS

Abstract

Focusing on an interview conducted with a Bedouin respondent on the subject on genetic counseling, this paper offers a symbolic interactionist framework for juxtaposing theory and practice, research and implementation, observation as well as intervention. The analysis exposes the interview as an arena for negotiation using constructs such as performance, impression management, micro-politics, weak and strong languages, and cultural difference.
