La investigación cualitativa

This is the opening chapter, 'La investigación cualitativa' ('Qualitative research'), of Irene Vasilachis de Gialdino's edited volume Estrategias de Investigación Cualitativa (Qualitative Research Strategies), published by Gedisa Editorial in Barcelona in 2006. Vasilachis de Gialdino is a well known Argentine researcher in the sociology of qualitative method, and this volume is a standard reference text in Spanish-language social science methodology courses. Based on its role as the book's opening chapter, it is understood to lay out the foundational concepts and orientation for the strategies discussed in the rest of the volume. Despite a genuine search attempt, the specific page cited could not be reached (the hosting domain no longer resolves), so the chapter's exact content could not be directly confirmed.
