"This book offers insights on politics and ethics of representation that are relevant to researchers concerned with struggles for justice. It takes moments of discomfort in the qualitative research process as important sites of knowledge for exploring representational practices in critical research. The Politics and Ethics of Representation in Qualitative Research draws on experiences from research processes in nine PhD projects. Drawing on grounded empirical research, the book offers input to students, PhDs, researchers, practitioners, activists and others dealing with methodological dilemmas from a critical perspective"--

Gerard P. Heather & Matthew F. Stolz (see SA 29:4/81L7842), despite the value of their comments on Hannah Arendt, do not have an adequate understanding of critical theory, especially as presented by Jurgen Habermas. Habermas provides not an antithesis but a complement to Arendt's work. He offers a post-Wittgensteinian communicative theory of action that clarifies: the normative & pragmatic character of speech & political discourse; the historically contingent, possibly systematically distorted character of speech & political discourse; & the resulting practicalities & power of ideology & legislation. In Reply to Professor Forester, Gerard P. Heather & Matthew F. Stolz (San Francisco State U, Calif) argue that Habermas & Arendt are working in different traditions -- Arendt in political theory & Habermas in critical theory. Arendt is in a tradition of seeking political understanding at the level of political discourse, rather than that of philosophical discourse, in which critical theory seeks to ground politics. Key concepts differ between the two approaches. Modified HA.
