Dear All,
I am currently doing research for my thesis/dissertation of my German
geography degree in Glasgow.
I look at city centre regeneration and how issues of security and
surveillance are discussed in relation to the city's (esp. the city
centre's) image.
My research is mainly based on interviews. However, I've come
across a whole lot of glossy press releases, economic strategy paper
and various other documents issued by a range of local goverment,
public bodies and bodies agencies. And I am a bit stuck for how to
analyse them.
Does anyone of you know some references about the analysis of
(official) documents, about the language of government reports, etc?
How to consider what is left out,....?
I would very much appreciate any information on this topic.
Thank you very much for your help
Gesa Helms
