“…As Lather and St. Pierre (2013: 630) note, however, in the context of attempts at posthumanist qualitative research, the challenging question remains: ‘How do we think a “research problem” in the imbrication of an agentic assemblage of diverse elements that are constantly intra-acting, never stable, never the same?’ In response, with a grounding in post-structuralism, Duff prioritizes the role of sensory ethnography, combined with approaches from emotional geographies (Bondi, 2005), though other productive combinations drawing on other methodological developments will surely be desirable, not least engaging increasingly with various life-course and longitudinal approaches. The requirement will stand, however, for a heightened openness to research practices which supplement or contextualize quantified ‘data’ on wellbeing, reintroducing the embodied, the emergent and the emplaced, which can be obscured within more conventional measures, as well as in many traditional qualitative techniques (Duff, 2010; Kuntz and Presnall, 2012; MacLure, 2013; Thin, 2012; Conradson, 2005).…”
