Um, sorry to be the pedant but shouldn't it be spelled "meso" - "mezzo" refers to musical velocity not levels of analysis? cheers m ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Timusk <ptimusk@sympatico.ca> Date: Monday, May 30, 2011 2:44 am Subject: Re: [Air-L] micro mezzo and macro - an answer!

"Cyborgs@Cyberspace?: An Ethnographer Looks to the Future" by David Hakken 1999 looks at levels of analysis.

AIR-ers -
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
P.S. thanks to all those who mailed me off-list for further details on this research framework and perhaps we will get further clarification this time around. DNR
