Zdrasvyute Eugene, Hi Martin, Hi all, I agree that methodology filters
or puts a lens on phenomena. I also agree that imposition of one
method is likely a dangerous way. But I wonder too about excluding
one method at the expense of another, at least in "principle". Perhaps
that it is that when one looks at a particular phenomomena there is
so much to say and to see and to commit to words, that one without
necessarily downgrading a particular method does so out of preference
(or choice based on joyful preference). I was thinking about the
xlist and why I hadn't done an anlysis of the participants SES, origin,
sex etc.. and thought first that it is not really relevant, given
all the other apsects that can be highlighted. Then on second
thought began to think of how it could become an analysis in and
of itself that could be really interesting. Finally though, I know
that personally, there is another more important question that I would
like to seek answers for.
