Non-Representational Methodologies: Re-Envisioning Research (Routledge Advances In Research Methods)

Non-representational theory is one of most influential contemporary perspectives within social and cultural theory, yet it is often poorly understood. Among the most important questions left unanswered are questions of method. All social and cultural theories--if they are to be proven useful--need to be applicable to data analysis and representation. This book tackles the subject of how useful non-representational theory is in this sense, outlining a variety of ways in which non-representational theory can influence how we understand the research process, the value of empirical research, the nature of data, the political value of data and evidence, the methods of research, the very notion of method, and the styles, genres, and media of research.
