The proposal that we made here seeks to offer an updated study of a large part of the different issues that today give life to the plot, the network, the anchoring, the promise, the possibilities, the alternatives of qualitative research. This is the reason why we incorporate problems, perspectives, traditions that we had not considered in volume I, and that assume more and more relevance, such as: the nature of the relationship between ethics, epistemology and qualitative research ( Episode 2); the nature of the link between people and peoples and those who investigate (epilogue); the problems related to validity together with the proposal of procedural validity (chapter 1), and the place and use of the theory in qualitative research (chapter 3). Likewise, new resources and methodological strategies are introduced, such as those derived from the use of photography in qualitative research (chapter 4), from the appeal to mixed methods (chapter 5), from the revision of the scope of fundamentalist theory (chapter 6), and the development of the types of software linked to the combination of qualitative and quantitative data (chapter 7).
