在本文中，作者回应了编辑的呼吁，挑战简单化和机械化的定性研究方法，这些方法阻碍了对数据的密集和多层处理。编辑们断言，这种做法可能会导致（过度）简化的知识主张，当参与者的“声音”被呈现为缺乏上下文的“经验”表达时，这种做法尤其危险。作者在定性探究中采用了简化声音的方法论项目，试图提供一种真实的本质或声音，它是存在的、稳定的和自我反思的。在德勒兹的帮助下，构想出一种没有图像的声音，作者特别挑战了对声音的简单化处理，这种处理要求声音“为自己说话”，或者将复杂和相互冲突的声音简化为可以脱离上下文和环境进行解释的分析“块”。作者以研究中的插图作为结论，展示了他们如何将如此复杂的实践付诸实践，以及它们如何解决以前未曾思考过的问题。
In this article, the authors respond to the editors’ call to challenge simplistic and mechanistic approaches to qualitative research that preclude dense and multilayered treatment of data. The editors assert that such practices can lead to (over)simplified knowledge claims, something especially risky when participant “voice” is presented as an expression of “experience” devoid of context. The authors approach the methodological project of a simplified voice in qualitative inquiry that attempts to offer an authentic essence or voice that is present, stable, and self-reflective. Aided by Deleuze to conceive a voice without an image, the authors specifically challenge simplistic treatments of voice that beckon voices to “speak for themselves” or that reduce complicated and conflicting voices to analytical “chunks” that can be interpreted free of context and circumstance. The authors conclude with illustrations from their research that demonstrate how they put such complicating practices to work and how they serve to open up previously unthought questions.
