Introducing the anti-method paradigm [or, when reviewer #2 says your interdisciplinary work is vague, messy, and unrecognizable

Abstract

ABSTRACT Interdisciplinary work no longer sits on the fringes of the communication studies discipline. In this manuscript, we invite a consideration of the anti-method paradigm as a framework for disturbing the paradigms of knowledge production that dominate research methods within our discipline. While these paradigms might push interdisciplinary work to the boundaries, the anti- method paradigm invites research that is vague, messy, and unrecognizable within traditional frames into conversation and connection.
