Hi
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.
Thanks
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.

There is also this miniguide. http://mnissen.psy.ku.dk/Undervisning/soejle/miniguide_to_goffman.htm
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
If you can access this it shows how someone else has done it with interviews – http://ebooks.cambridge.org/chapter.jsf?bid=CBO9780511489792&cid=CBO9780511489792A020
And you might find this chapter helpful too…
Hope this helps!

And one more – looks like a nice easy intro and there are some references at the bottom you might want to follow up.
Ok, last one!! Take a look at this MA thesis and the methodology chapter which talks about how they did Frame Analysis of Semi-Structured interviews http://oisd.brookes.ac.uk/architecture/cendep/dissertations/CarolineHolden.pdf
