  • UCSB: Duality In Qualitative Research

    555 Words  | 3 Pages

    University of California, Santa Barbara upon first glance exclusively represents the term university, meaning that UCSB is widely and solely represented as a place of education. This can be noted, as well as supported, in the universities’ statement of their mission, which focuses on the fact that “Teaching and research go hand-in-hand at UC Santa Barbara” and the students are on “educational journey.” However, once UCSB is holistically analyzed it is shown to reflect more than a University, but rather an organization that follows not only the bureaucratic but also organizational definition. UCSB’s connection to a bureaucratic organization, however, is further supported through its connection to formalization, the division of labor, and hierarchy. In conclusion, UCSB has duality in its existence as not only a university but also an organization.

    This point is further elaborated by Little Bear in specifying the underlying importance of this educational process (5). These stories teach about customs and values that are shared which allows for knowledge to be passed down from one another (Little Bear 5). Johnson describes how with every new story, he was able to understand and piece together its meanings (Johnson 57). Education and socialization are attained in many ways such as praise, reward, recognition, renewal ceremonies, experience, and storytelling (Little Bear 5). This again is different than the Western view in that because it is absolute, there is little room for change (Little Bear 6).

  • Summary Of Never Do That To A Book By Anne Fadiman

    878 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Anne Fadiman’s essay, “Never Do That to a Book,” she asserts that there are two different varieties of readers, pertaining to how they treat physical copies of books, “courtly” readers and “carnal” readers. According to Fadiman, courtly lovers of books treasure their physical form and seek to maintain their pristine condition while carnal lovers devour their volumes in more than a figurative sense. Carnal readers crave a tangible, sensory experience with their books, favoring hard physical use, personal commentary, and mementos to signify their experiences and connections with their prized volumes. However, with the emergence of electronic readers, both carnal and courtly readers must reexamine their relationships with books. In the coming

  • The Concept Of Norms In Translation Theory

    1713 Words  | 7 Pages

    A translator may subject him-/herself either to the original text, with the norms it has realized, or to the norms active in the target culture, or in that section of it which would host the end product. Translation is a complicated task, during which the meaning of the source-language text should be conveyed to the target-language readers. In other words, translation can be defined as encoding the meaning and form in the target language by means of the decoded meaning and form of the source language. Different theorists state various definitions for translation.

Findings from the analysis identified that the personal domain had considerable influence on day-to-day practice, and five themes emerged describing the personal domain: ‘life experiences’, ‘beliefs and values’, ‘ideas and theories’, ‘personal relationships’, and ‘personal characteristics’.

    3. QUALITATIVE RESEARCH THEORY 3.1 QUALITATIVE RESEARCH Qualitative research is a form of research in which the researcher collects and interprets data, meaning the researcher is as important in the research process as the participants and the data they provide. Reason and Rowan (2004) have argued that the core element of a qualitative research approach is to connect meanings to the experiences of respondents and their lives. According to Clissett (2008) qualitative research involves a variety of research methods that can be used to explore human experience, perceptions, motivations and behaviours. Qualitative research is characterised by collection and analysis of words in the form of speech or writing.
