This edited book presents a range of quests for those who want to learn
from others through asking questions in research interviews and
conversations and attending to the more-than-human aspects of the world.
Authors in this book explore how to talk to people in ways that are
responsive to cultural contexts and the challenges faced by people in
everyday life, how to think with concepts drawn from an array of
theories, including Karen Barad's concept of "intra-action," Rosi
Braidotti's work on "cartographies," and Gilles Deleuze and Félix
Guattari's concepts of the "fold" and "assemblage." Authors discuss a
rich array of interview practices used by contemporary
scholars--including, how to
a. elicit verbal accounts from participants in culturally responsive
ways;
b. think with theory in relation to the use of interview methods; and
c. integrate object, graphic, and photo elicitation methods and mobile
and walking methods in research.
The book is designed to provoke and inspire readers' creativity to take
risks and integrate different approaches to doing interviews in their
research--in other words, to undertake methodological quests to
experiment with the art of asking questions. Understanding the breadth
of practices entailed in qualitative interview research can invigorate
any researcher's practice. This volume seeks to encourage researchers to
design studies that account for how they interact with others in
culturally responsive ways; to consider how they can draw on theoretical
concepts to re-think, re-theorize, and question conventional interview
practices; and to re-imagine the generation of interview accounts using
other ways of knowing, including visual, sensory, and mobile methods.
