Hermeneutics, Ibero-America, globalisation, qualitative research, methodologyAbstract
In this essay, I aim to draw attention to the experience and practice of qualitative research conducted in Ibero- America. Comparing the state of the art of qualitative research in different countries this paper is a first effort to spread the debate underway in Spanish speaking societies in the context of the globalisation of academia. How does Ibero-American qualitative research look from the globalisation viewpoint? What are our main concerns about methods and approaches? Is hermeneutics included on our agenda? Particularly I will take the Ibero-American context into account to point out a particular set of obstacles and challenges of doing qualitative research in these countries.
