The data that we generate in everyday life is now digitally mediated, stored, and analyzed by web sites, companies, institutions, and governments. Big data is large volume, rapidly generated, digitally encoded information that is often related to other networked data, and can provide valuable evidence for study of phenomena. This book explores the potentials of qualitative methods and analysis for big data, including text mining, sentiment analysis, information and data visualization, netnography, follow-the-thing methods, mobile research methods, multimodal analysis, and rhythmanalysis. It debates new concerns about ethics, privacy, and dataveillance for big data qualitative researchers. This book is essential reading for those who do qualitative and mixed methods research, and are curious, excited, or even skeptical about big data and what it means for future research. Now is the time for researchers to understand, debate, and envisage the new possibilities and challenges of the rapidly developing and dynamic field of big data from the vantage point of the qualitative researcher. 606 $aQualitative research$xData processing 606 $aBig data 615 0$aQualitative research$xData processing. 615 0$aBig data. 676 $a001.42028553 700 $aMills$b Kathy$f1974-$01145144 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910774888103321 996 $aBig data for qualitative research$93668505 997 $aUNINA
