Hi Denise - Charles Tilly's 1997/Micro/, /Macro, or Megrim/? may be a prior layered theory. It's published in 2002's /Stories, Identities, and Political Change /by Rowman and Littlefield. If I've jumped in without knowing the whole conversation (new to the list, waving hi!) I apologize. Won't be the first time that's happened :) Denice Szafran On 5/30/2011 6:00 PM, air-l-request@listserv.aoir.org wrote:
I wanted to share a rare event: answering my own question! It turns out that Nick Jankowsi and Martine van Selm have written on the micro, mezzo, and macro levels as stages in the 'reserach enterprise' pp. 200-201 in Christine Hine's excellent collection:
Hine, C., Ed. (2005). Virtual methods: Issues in social research on the Internet. Oxford, Berg Publishers.
I do have a further question if Nick and/or Martine are reading this list: these stages of analysis further cite Jankowski (1999).
I am happy to give citation to them throughout, but I am still wondering if this layered type of analysis comes from a yet-unnamed theorist of whom I should be intimately aware, but am currently unacquainted!
Cheers, Denise
