Sommario/riassunto

Deals with the process of conducting research in humanities, with reference to media and culture, from the planning stage, through the data gathering, to the analysis and interpretation of results. This book aims to show how the choice of research topic can be refined into a manageable research question and how the methodologies can be applied.
