Michael saved in Pocket: ‘Post-qualitative research’ (Lather and Pierre 2013)

Excerpt

‘But, entanglement makes all the categories of humanist qualitative research problematic.

Can we disconnect ourselves from the mangle somehow (Self) and then carefully disconnect some other small piece of the mangle (Other) long enough to study it? What ontology has enabled us to believe the world is stable so that we can do all that individuating? And at what price? How do we think a “research problem” in the imbrication of an agentic assemblage of diverse elements that are constantly intra-acting, never stable, never the same?’ (Lather and Pierre 2013: 630)
