Drawing on historical, theoretical and cultural knowledge, this introduction explains and justifies the importance of generalisation from dialogical single case studies. We clarify the meaning of dialogism and dialogicality, differentiate between single case studies and dialogical single case studies, identify the dynamic and ethical features of dialogical single case studies, and articulate the problem of generalisation as it pertains to this topic. We suggest that the question of generalisation ought to be viewed as an effort to resituate knowledge and its dialogical features, for example values, ethical standards or levels of engagement, in other dialogical single case studies.

对话式单例泛化特刊介绍

本介绍利用历史、理论和文化知识，解释并证明了从对话式单一案例研究中概括的重要性。我们澄清了对话主义和对话性的含义，区分了单一案例研究和对话性单一案例研究，确定了对话性单一案例研究的动态和伦理特征，并阐明了与该主题相关的泛化问题。我们建议，泛化问题应该被视为在其他对话性单一案例研究中重新定位知识及其对话特征的努力，例如价值观、道德标准或参与水平。
