Does anyone know anything about analysing semi structured interviews using Goffman’s Frame Analysis or could anyone recommend a good book that explains it well? Goffman’s book “An Essay on the Organisation of Experience. Frame Analysis”, is a bit heavy going to get started with.
From what I’ve read online, lots of people think Goffman’s book is pretty inaccessible!
This consultancy offers some free resources, though obviously this is there interpretation of Frame Analysis rather than necessarily a devout Goffman approach.
And here you can find an article by Fredric Jameson on Frame Analysis – not in anyway lighter reading nor practical, but still quite interesting if you have a spare hour to pull it apart!! http://www.mediafire.com/?ljymmowcytm
