Part of the book series: Springer Protocols Handbooks ((SPH))

Abstract

Collective subject discourse (CSD) is a systematic method of organization and tabulation of qualitative data, anchored in the theory of social representations, combining methodological rigor and the search for the essence of thought expressed in a given social context. Some advantages of the CSD include the possibility of working with numerically more representative samples, as well as contemplating quantitative aspects of the studies directed to the most diverse academic areas of knowledge. Our objective is to highlight the principles for the operationalization of the DSC, its main characteristics and shed light on its use in the field of research in ethnobiology.
