Book Summary of After Method: Mess in Social Science Research
`Research Methods`: a compulsory course, loved by some but hated by many! This stimulating book is about what went wrong with `research methods`. Its controversial argument is radical, and at times, even revolutionary.
John Law argues that methods don`t just describe social realities but are also involved in creating them. The implications of this argument are highly significant, as if this is the case, methods are always political, and it raises the question of what kinds of social realities we want to create.
Most current methods look for clarity and precision. It is usually said that only poor research produces messy findings, and the idea that things in the world might be fluid, elusive, or multiple is unthinkable. Law`s startling argument is that this is wrong and it is time for a new approach. Many realities, he says, are vague and ephemeral. If methods want to know and to help to shape the world, then they need to reinvent themselves and their politics to deal with mess. That is the challenge. Nothing less will do.
This book is essential reading for students, postgraduates and researchers with an interest methodology.
