Konec hermeneutiky? ATLAS.ti, verze devátá
Zdeněk Konopásek
The end of hermeneutics? Atlas.ti, version 9
This review argues that the new version of this software package for qualitative analysis continues in a problematic direction (taken already in version 8). Despite claims about improved workflow, the program interface remains confusing and difficult to use. It requires too many clicks, its options for user settings are almost zero (impossible to define window background colours, completely missing network views options). However, most importantly, it turns out that some of the program capabilities lost with the transition to version 8 in 2016 have not come back (yet). Even after five years, despite original promises, the program does not allow synchronized work with sound recordings and their transcripts (Windows version). What a shame. This review also shows that the program gradually weakens the emphasis on hermeneutic work with text (various modes of reading and writing) in favour of the easiest possible way of text encoding. It happens by means of subtle details in various procedures. As a result, Atlas.ti (projects of which were once called “hermeneutic units”) loses its former uniqueness among other CAQDAS programs.
