Abstract

How to construct the narratives of the video-files? Can we identify some general requirements for various narratives about the same structure of the video? These questions are both inevitable for the theory-oriented research based on video-methodology, and still open for reflexive consideration.In general, the use of video as a data serves as the check-up and verification of our limited intuitions and memories; they make available for the observer the wider range of materials as the data, as well as provide some assurance that the analytical considerations and «findings» do not arise as artifacts of intuitive idiosyncrasy, selective attention or memory, or as a result of field experiment. The need for penetration into the text requires from sociologists to focus not only on the linguistic problems. To be indexical in operating the data of their research sociologists are expected to get open not only to the directly related subjects but also to keep in practice «the absolute adequacy method» and «indifference» to the interdisciplinary barriers.
