Writing Post Qualitative Inquiry

Abstract

This article explains how writing served the author as a method of inquiry for several decades and how a long preparation using Derrida’s deconstruction, Foucault’s historical approaches, and Deleuze and Guattari’s experimental concepts slowly deconstructed conventional humanist qualitative methodology enabling post qualitative inquiry. The author encourages those who inquire now, after the ontological turn, to break the habit of rushing to preexisting research methodologies and, instead, to follow the provocations that come from everywhere in the inquiry that is living and writing.
