ABSTRACT
The picture of method starts to shift. The argument is no longer that methods discover and depict realities. Instead, it is that they participate in the enactment of those realities. It is also that method is not just a more or less complicated set of procedures or rules, but rather a bundled hinterland. This stretches through skills, instruments and statements (in-here enactments of previous methods) through the out-there realities so described, into a ramifying and indefinite set of relations, places and assumptions that disappear from view. So what follows from this? This is the issue that I tackle in the remaining chapters of this book. What are the realities that are made in method? What are the forms of the out-thereness? What realities, out-therenesses, might be made in method? How do in-herenesses get made, and what might they look like? How are different realities, different methods, and different in-herenesses entangled with one another?
