ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on recent feminist reinscriptions of practices of critique and analysis in qualitative research in order to begin to grasp what is on the horizon in terms of new analytics and practices of inquiry. It explores practices toward a counter-science that is constituted by the interplay between scientificity and the necessary interpretation that has historically been excluded from the received understanding of science. In addition to the exemplars already discussed, what this might look like begins to take shape in the displacements that abound across a broad array of trends and movements in the field of feminist methodology. Here feminist methodology begins to elude its capture in Hegelian terms of the dialectic and the universal, "the 'pompous march of historical necessity'" where big bang theories of social change have not served women well.
