FQS 5(1) online

[Katja Mruck <mruck@zedat.fu-berlin.de>]

Dear All,

The 14th issue of the on-line journal FQS -- "Special Issue: FQS Reviews
III" -- is now available at
http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/inhalt1-04-e.htm 

FQS 5(1) is edited by Guenter Mey and Kip Jones and deals with topics
like "Qualtitative Methodology and Methods," "Body, Culture, Identity,"
"Online-Research, New Media," and "Theoretical Perspectives." It is our
hope that the articles published in this issue will provide you, the
reader, some useful information about the books under review, raise your
curiosity and help you decide whether you would like to read the entire
book or not. Furthermore the articles should also offer you some ideas
about research areas under discussion and create impulses for future
commentaries and debates. If you are interested to comment on a review
note or review essay, already published
(http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/book-reviews/exis-reviews-e.htm),
or if you like to review a book
(http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/book-reviews/review-liste-e.htm),
please contact Guenter Mey (mey@gp.tu-berlin.de).

As always, in addition to the contributions belonging to FQS Reviews,
selected single contributions, some articles on the ongoing FQS Debate
"Doing Successful Research in the Social Sciences -- Ethnography of the
Career Politics of an Occupational Group," and some recent conference
reports are also available. All in all, 39 articles created FQS 5(1)
with contributions from authors from eight countries and various
disciplines. Some of the authors being experienced representatives from
their field, such as Barney G. Glaser, Christian Lueders, Alexander von
Plato, Wolf-Michael Roth, Jaan Valsiner and Tom Wengraf, and some who
recently began their academic career such as Stefanie Grosse, Hiltrud
Krey or Yew-Jin Lee, to mention a few.

See below the table of contents and some additional information. 
We wish hopefully stimulating readings and discussions!
