 s how throughout the history of the social sciences heuristic dualisms b
 etween positivism and interpretativism  can be seen to play out again an
 d again at all levels of debate and analysis. The focus of this seminar 
 is upon some of the ideological and normative contexts of academic inter
 pretations of British urban policy that are found in literature views ac
 companying research on community activism and land use planning. The cas
 e study refers to field research undertaken in the London Borough of Har
 ingey and the interpretative contexts to which such research might be re
