CSAC Monographs is a series produced by the Centre for Social Anthropology and Computing, University of Kent, which aims to make available specialist material in social anthropology and sociology at the lowest possible cost. Production and distribution costs are kept to a minimum by the use of information technology and direct mailing. The intention is to expand the series as rapidly as possible, subject to the normal processes of peer review. We try to complete these promptly. We will consider a wide variety of material including: unpublished dissertations which are still of current interest; edited collections based on conferences and symposia; new editions of important work currently unavailable; monographs which because of their unusual length of specialist nature are not considered commercially viable by conventional publishers.

Introduction

Drei Schwestern und ihre Kinder Rekonstruktion von Familiengeschichte und Identitätstrans- mission bei Indischen Nederlanders mit Hilfe computerunter- stützter Inhaltsanalyse <,>br> Oliver Kortendick

Two aspects are focussed in this work. Firstly, its objective is to describe the families' role concerning the individual discovery of identity. Secondly, procedures of systematic content analysis are used and tested in an ethnological context. To collect data, group discussions were conducted. The author uses new and innovative techniques to study unstructured data both qualitatively and quanti- tatively. Recent software developments promise considerable progress in the field of text analysis. The results of this book are encouraging. By introducing new and adapting existing instruments the essential outcome of the qualitative analysis can be proved by quantitative methods. In addition, it could be shown that certain structures such as the relation between informants and their ideas and concepts can be illustrated by Iooking at the frequency of words. With the help of his basic analytical principles Kortendick points out a way to finally solve the problem of the analysis of large and non-native language text corpora.
Oliver Kortendick was born and raised up in Duisburg, Germany. He studied Anthropology and Sociology in Göttingen, Amsterdam and Cologne, where he got his M.A. (1990) and Ph.D. (1995). He did fieldwork in the Netherlands and has also worked in Tanzania and Papua New Guinea. Since 1990 he has held positions in Cologne and Canterbury.
