Abstract
Post qualitative inquiry has called for method-less research and warned against the incommensurability of the use of systematic research methods with poststructural and new materialist theories. This essay offers a counterpoint to the incommensurability argument by presenting four examples of studies informed by poststructural and new materialist theories that employ interviews, ethnography, coding, and discourse analysis. What if we were to think of combining poststructural theories with systematic methods not as taboo, but rather as an encounter of differences, with unpredictable outcomes? Theory-based, method-free research can be productive, but as the examples presented in this paper demonstrate, so, too, can research that combines systematic methods with engagement with poststructural theories.
