Deleuze and Research Methodologies by Rebecca Coleman
Deleuzian thinking is having a significant impact on research practices in the Social Sciences, particularly because it breaks down the false divide between theory and practice. This book brings together international academics from a range of Social Science and Humanities disciplines to reflect on how Deleuze's philosophy is opening up and shaping methodologies and practices of empirical research.
Deleuze and Research Methodologies, edited by Rebecca Coleman and Jessica Ringrose, succeeds in three waysFirstly, it offers a space where Deleuzian thinking and methodological questions intersect. This provides a fresh contribution to the literature on research methodologies. Secondly … the articles in the book invite the researcher to reconsider concepts and techniques such as data, survey, mapping, performativity, power and pedagogy in the context of visual production. Thirdly, through the overarching conceptual discussions and the individual empirical processes of the contributors, the book offers new perspectives on well-used but nevertheless knotty Deleuzian concepts such as ‘becoming’, ‘nomadic’, ‘affect’ and ‘desire’. -- Pelin Tan, Mardin Artuklu University,Turkey * Visual Studies *
Not only does this book succeed to instil Deleuze’s philosophy into social science research methodology but it also achieves something even more intriguing and unexpected: it brings back into current Deleuzian scholarship the vanishing social, material and animal liveliness of Deleuze’s own philosophy – a fine toolbox for any social researcher to draw on. -- Dimitris Papadopoulos, Reader in Sociology and Organisation, University of Leicester
