Uma amiga assinalou-me a importância de Norman Denzin, que não conhecia, e que é um autor importante para o interaccionismo interpretativo.
Este artigo vem nessa linha e põe em causa o tão em voga "peer review process". De que sempre desconfiei, diga-se.

Norman Denzin
sociologist

"A fundamental problem in such studies stems from the long tradition that has regarded artistic productions as social facts. by regarding such productions as social facts the analyst is relieved of the burden of demonstrating what meanings these productions have for the artist and his [sic] audience. It is too frequently assumed that such meanings can be identified by a capable analyst, independent of the interpretations brought to such works by the artist or his audiences. In my judgement artist productions must be seen as interactional creations; the meanings of which arise out of the interactions directed to them by the artist and his audience."
Quoted in The Sociology of Rock by Simon Frith, 1978, ISBN 0094602204, from Denzin's 'Problems in analysing elements of mass culture: notes on popular songs and other artistic productions'.
