Abstract:	Researchers in the social sciences, including legal studies, political science, social work, and sociology, utilize specific, discipline-based approaches to analyzing written texts, including frequency counts of words and text segments and determining thematic patterns emerging from the data. This seminar, with speakers Katrin Križ and Daniela Reimer and discussant Tarja Pösö, aims to walk participants beyond the boundaries of these social science approaches by introducing the methods of literary criticism and reflecting on their methodological potential. What can social scientists learn from literary criticism methods for analyzing public-facing texts by street-level bureaucrats? “Public-facing texts” are documents by street-level bureaucrats like child protection caseworkers, judges, teachers, and police officers written for members of the public as part of public policy implementation. Examples of these texts in child protection are court judgments or university course curricula for future child protection caseworkers. This seminar explores how literary criticism methods could be valuable for systematically examining and interpreting these texts.
