Abstract
The history of qualitative methodological practices concerns development of research practices, objects of inquiry, and analytic strategies in relation to archival, observational, and interview data. There are three unevenly autonomous and connected streams: (1) historical inquiry and historical social science (especially historical sociology), (2) ethnographic research in anthropology, and (3) social science methodologies of interviewing and field research. Despite the diverse domains, qualitative methods have often converged in shared analytic issues, logics of comparison, and epistemological issues. Recently, qualitative methods have been pushed in two contradictory directions: toward increasingly powerful logical formalization and toward ‘postmodern’ emphasis on historicity and reflexivity.
