Up Close and Personal, But Not Close Enough: Review of Samantha Holland (ed.), Remote Relationships in a Small World
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: One of the central aims of this book is to establish life online as a legitimate and sociologically significant area of study. To this end the book provides a genuinely wide range of original essays, each of which focuses on a discretely defined empirical site. The collection’s empiricism is impressively buttressed by well‐located literature reviews and the provision of detailed notes on methodology. This makes for an excellent teaching resource, as an introduction to the field and a ‘how to’ guide for those unfamiliar with the passages of qualitative research. It is also a useful research tool for those wanting to survey the field and access an up‐to‐date bibliography.
