在这些日子里，我们不可避免地意识到，我们的工作完全不足以理解我们分析和描述的生活世界主题的复杂结构。在这些日子里，阅读一个人的作品，回放一个人的视频或音频纪录片，盯着一个人的照片，或者回忆一个人的表演，把一个作者推向自我不足和怀疑的沮丧深渊。这些日子里，研究人员希望他们选择了一个艺术生涯没有准确的表现的自命不凡。对于我们中的一些人来说，随着下一份期待已久的图书合同或前往异国情调的会议目的地的前景，这些凄凉日子的沉闷逐渐消失。但是，我们的工作总是片面的，简单化的，甚至缺乏想象力和不真实的意识必然会一次又一次地重新出现。描述是徒劳的。那么，我们应该投降吗？或者想出一个新的科学方法？或者，考虑到时代精神，我们的期刊有一个可爱的新“应用程序”？也许我们可以但我们不会在这里做任何事情。这本书不是一本为中年认识论危机患者准备的自助手册。它并没有承诺提供方便的解决方案、公式、过程或代码，以更准确地表示不同的生活世界。而且，由于它的目的不是对代表危机或作者之死提出原创性的哀叹，它也不希望借一个肩膀来哭泣。所以，你可能想知道：这些纸到底有什么用？好吧，一个更激进的解决方案，真的：放弃-希望永远-我们对代表的痴迷。让本书成为非代表性研究的精神宣言。非代表性研究持怀疑态度的读者可能会立即做出反应，这听起来像是非资助和非发表研究的最恰当的同义词。毕竟，研究是描述、理解和解释经验现实的过程，怎么能否认它存在的理由呢？一个人的工作职责是除了小说作家之外的所有人，怎么能假装能够抹杀将他们与幻想领域区分开来的唯一标准呢？1非表征研究方法论导论
These are the days when the inevitable realization that our work is utterly inadequate at apprehending the intricate textures of the lifeworld subjects of our analysis and description strikes with its mightiest force. These are the days when reading again one’s writings, playing back one’s video or audio documentaries, staring at one’s photos, or recalling one’s performances pushes an author over the depressing abyss of self-insuffi ciency and doubt. These are the days when researchers wish they had chosen an art career devoid of the pretensions of accurate representation. For some of us the doldrums of these forlorn days fade away with the next long-awaited book contract or the prospect of a jaunt to an exotic conference destination. But the awareness that our work is invariably partial, simplistic, or even unimaginative and inauthentic is bound to resurface again, and again. Depiction—it seems—is futile. Should we then surrender? Or perhaps come up with a new scientifi c method? Or maybe, given the zeitgeist, a cute new “app” for our journals? Maybe we could. But we will not be doing any of that here. This book is not a self-help manual for the sufferer of a midlife epistemological crisis. It does not promise handy solutions, formulas, procedures, or codes for a more accurate representation of disparate lifeworlds. And because it does not aim to offer original laments over the crisis of representation or the death of the author it does not hope to lend a shoulder to cry on either. So, you might wonder: what exactly are these sheets of paper good for? Well, for a more radical solution, really: to quit—hopefully for good—our obsession with representation. Let this volume be a manifesto for the ethos of non-representational research . Non-representational research—the skeptical reader might immediately react—sounds like the most apropos synonym for non-funded and non-published research. How can, after all, research—which is the very process of describing, understanding, and explaining an empirical reality—deny its very raison d’être? How can people whose job responsibility is to be all but fi ction authors pretend to be able to obliterate the single criterion that separates them from the domain of fantasy? 1 Non-Representational Research Methodologies An Introduction
