I have created some new goals so I would like to finish this project. The 'art work' is meant to represent a piece of pie - the final piece, of course. I used Sketchbook Express and a Wacom Bamboo tablet with stylus (an older model I purchased used on Ebay) to create this. I still don't quite have the hang of drawing with the stylus and do an average job of sketching under the best of conditions. For this last work with the transcript segment, I am going to switch gears away from the CA/Jeffersonian approach and use a more creative technique. In the book "Narrative methods for the human sciences," Catherine Reissman presents some examples of poetic structure from interview transcripts. It was suggested to me this morning that a good way to assess the presence of a theme is to see if there is enough information to construct a poem. Although I have not yet discussed analysis or themes in the self-interview segment I am using for this exercise, it is pretty clear to me that I am talking about a couple of things: the evolution of my attitude toward qualitative inquiry; the difference in how qualitative and quantitative inquiry are presented in texts. The second theme in fact is a sub-theme of the first. I am attaching the transcript with what I call the poetic interpretation in normal font. I have removed the time stamps, removed most of the CA symbols from this portion, and changed the rest of the material to a gray font. Below that, I am reproducing just my 'poem' on its own and have preserved to some extent the actual spacing between lines. I added one word - the bold 'not.'
Let's talk about different way of looking at things.
