Abstract

This paper considers the role reading plays in post qualitative inquiry, arguing that because post qualitative inquiry is a derivative of poststructuralism, the philosophies of reading that are foundational to poststructuralism are then axiomatic to post qualitative inquiry. This is evidenced by Elizabeth St. Pierre’s relentless reminders to become students of poststructuralism before using post qualitative inquiry in one’s scholarship. Drawing on Roland Barthes’s philosophy of reading, this paper deconstructs post qualitative inquiry’s deep relationship to reading in order to critique the way this genre at times risks falling for glamour of high theory and foundational misconceptions about poststructuralism’s interrogation of subjectivity.
