Case justification for Internet research
Hello all- I have been having trouble finding literature that examines how to justify a particular case within the context of internet research. I am finishing my dissertation on how a particular social movement (the Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights/Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia) uses CMC to generate support and action for its message against the Saudi government. I have suggested that the case is a synecdochical or revelatory case (using Snow and Trom, "The Case Study and the Study of Social Movements") because the case reveals specific evidence of a strategy for social movement action. In other words, the use of CMC by the movement is important and is overlooked in existing discussions of media-movement relations. I have one reader who is skeptical of this logic. I would appreciate any suggestions. Joseph W. Roberts, Ph.D., ABD Instructor of Political Science E-Mail: nospam.roberts000@earthlink.net
