ABSTRACT
This chapter shows how one can think about diverse ways answers are becoming, creating movement; moving to all directions at once. One can imagine answers as assemblages. Similar to Marcus and Saka (2006), people use the concept of assemblage to think with and to make connections to the texts we read. For us, assemblage represents a structure-like surrogate, an image of a jar, an opening among other things. Notion of assemblage allows us to recapture the playful and profane notions difference and heterogeneity, in this case when thinking about answers in qualitative research. Even though Stevens's poem does not relate to whiskey or whiskey jars, it does relate to the cultural object of the jar and the jar assemblage, of which a whiskey jar represents one example. Jars have been used throughout human history to preserve cultural images. The cultural images of bottled water as a necessity are much more recent phenomena.
