Exploring Data Production in Motion facilitates the use of feminist
critical qualitative methodologies. With open-ended methods and
poststructuralist theory and analysis, this book will offer tools to
approach and to examine challenging and controversial topics ethically.
This book will argue that to examine data of 'individual' experience and
aspirations requires examining the process of the data production in
which these were 'produced'. Therefore, this book will form an
understanding of a data production as a process, which in its fluidity
enables us also to form an understanding of difference and change as
inevitable parts of social processes. Movement expresses here the
dynamic forces in the data production (including its analysis), which
produce 'the life' to the lines of the data. It welcomes change and
uncertainty by allowing the data production processes, its intensities
and fluctuations, to take the lead in the inquiry. This compels the
methods to adjust to the requirements of the data production processes.
The book demonstrates the use of feminist methodology and illuminates
how the feminist critical inquiry is essential in examining issues of
minority and difference. In this the focus is in the differences. As a
feminist inquiry this book contributes to recognizing differences within
while examining minority worldviews and perceiving difference as
essential force in striving for sustainable ethics in the times of
political polarization.
