It has been observed that thematic interests are less effective for establishing in-depth scientific dialogue and inspiring new projects than are convergences in terms of theoretical paradigms and research methods. Over the past few years, a growing number of sociologists, both in Switzerland and abroad, have adopted variations of the \u201cinterpretative paradigm\u201d and begun to use \u201cinterpretative\u201d (or \u201cqualitative\u201d) methods.<\/p>\n<p>The Research Committee primarily promotes scientific dialogue and exchange on empirical sociology of knowledge and culture. In the realm of social-scientific hermeneutics, a range of approaches has been established over the past years, including phenomenology, ethnomethodology, symbolic interactionism, ethnography, conversation analysis, narrative analysis, genre analysis, objective hermeneutics, frame analysis, ethnographic semantics, reconstructive (historical) hermeneutics, and others.<\/p>\n<h4>Our Research Committee works toward the following aims:<\/h4>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-bd84104f09c397338597807ab31c6aca\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-bd84104f09c397338597807ab31c6aca{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-bd84104f09c397338597807ab31c6aca hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-6  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>to create a network for scientists conducting empirical hermeneutic research in the social sciences, and to provide them with a forum for sharing their experiences;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>to increase the importance of interpretative social research both in terms of basic research as well as research and evaluation activities for public administration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-av_toggle-2e9b61c37230d1440c257cc1120332fc'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-2' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Membership\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Membership\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Membership\">Membership<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-2' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-2' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Anybody who is interested in the Research Committee\u2019s aims and topics is invited to join.
