菲利普瓦尼尼。副标题--重新构想研究--描述了10篇关于如何进行非代表性研究的不同方法论论文的议程。这篇书评对本卷中讨论的主题作了简要的概述。此外，我还讨论了非代表性方法对家庭研究的有用性（更完整的讨论，请参阅Schadler，2016，在这个问题上）。需要非代表性研究方法的理论，如后结构主义，后现代主义和新唯物主义，在文化研究，科学技术研究和性别研究等跨学科领域已经存在了相当长的一段时间。家庭研究作为一个领域还没有接受这些理论，也不是过于关注创新的定性方法，因为实证主义的观点在该领域占主导地位。然而，在我当代的家庭研究环境中，我看到了三个影响新兴研究的相关趋势：（a）定性研究，在领先的家庭研究期刊中仍然代表不足，受到更多关注（Goldberg &艾伦，2015），（B）身体和物质被认为比过去几十年更重要（D 'Onofrio & Lahey，2010），（c）研究方法和结果的复杂性正在被要求（Doucet，2015）。非代表性的方法可以用来解决这三个问题，而且，这些方法以一种新颖的方式跨越了所有三个主题。Vannini的介绍性章节总结了本书作者的共同原则。这是一个很容易阅读，并提供有关非代表性的理论和方法，也是可以理解的新手到外地的基本信息。术语非表征理论-现在“被广泛认为是后现代理论的继承者，后结构主义思想的逻辑发展，以及远离认知，象征意义和文本性背后最显着的智力力量”（第2页）-功能是一个总括性术语，包括“不同但相互关联的理论观点，如行动者网络理论，生物哲学，新材料主义，过程哲学、思辨现实主义、社会生态学、表演理论、后结构主义女性主义、批判理论、后现象学和实用主义”（第3页）。对于Vannini非代表性
Phillip Vannini. The subtitle—Re-envisioning Research—describes the agenda of the 10 different methodological essays on how to do non-representational research. This book review gives a brief overview of the topics discussed in the volume. In addition, I discuss the usefulness of non-representational methods for family studies (for a more complete discussion, see Schadler, 2016, in this issue). Theories that require non-representational methods of research, such as poststructuralism, postmodernism, and new materialism, have been around for quite a while in interdisciplinary fields like cultural studies, science and technology studies, and gender studies. Family studies as a field has not yet embraced these theories, nor is it overly concerned with innovative qualitative methods, because a positivist perspective dominates in the field. Nevertheless, in my contemporary family studies environment I see three related trends affecting emerging research:(a) qualitative research, still underrepresented in the leading family studies journals, receives more attention (Goldberg & Allen, 2015),(b) bodies and materialities are considered more important than in previous decades (D’Onofrio & Lahey, 2010), and (c) a greater complexity of research methods and outcomes is being requested (Doucet, 2015). Non-representational methods can be of use in addressing these three issues, and furthermore, the methods cut across all three of the topics in a novel way.Vannini’s introductory chapter is a summary of the shared principles of the authors in this book. It is an easy read and provides basic information about non-representational theory and methods that is also understandable for novices to the field. The term non-representational theories—now “widely considered to be the successor of postmodern theory, the logical development of post-structuralist thought, and the most notable intellectual force behind the turn away from cognition, symbolic meaning, and textuality”(p. 2)—functions as an umbrella term encompassing “diverse but interrelated theoretical perspectives, such as actor-network theory, biological philosophy, neomaterialism, process philosophy, speculative realism, social ecology, performance theory, poststructuralist feminism, critical theory, postphenomenology, and pragmatism”(p. 3).
