ABSTRACT

‘Method’ is not the name of some ‘tool-kit’, some series of procedures or protocols to be performed when confronted with a set of objects, it is rather the name that we should give to the way we apprehend and comprehend the objects we attend to … How we make contact with the world, how we apprehend it and give it sense, I am going to argue, is not a matter of epistemological absolutes, but it is something that is, or should be, open to scrutiny in terms of ethics, as well as aesthetics and politics. Method falls on the side of form, rather than content. It is what underwrites intellectual production.
