La sottile linea d’ombra. Aspetti etici nell’uso dello shadowing nella ricerca sociale (The thin shadow line. Ethical aspects in the use of shadowing in social research), di Alice Scavarda

Cipriani Roberto
Grounded Theory, Sensitizing Concepts, and Computer-Assisted Theory Building, di Roberto Cipriani
Introduction
The presence of many – sometimes contradictory – theories is arguably considered a strength in the social sciences.
