“…There is a new focus in the qualitative methods literature on the "ecology of writing science" (Howarth, 1990) indicating a renewed appreciation of how "styles of reporting" (Lofland, 1974), research findings, and the "rhetoric" (Gusfield, 1976;Hunter, 1990) of research create, rather than reflect, particular views of reality (Richardson, 1990;Templeton & Groce, 1990). Even so-called objective scientific reporting involves "blends of description and creation, observation and self-revelation, selective recording, alteration, and suppression of details" (Graham & Oehlschlaeger, 1992, p. 5).…”

Quoted words and phrases from research participants are a common feature of qualitative research reports. Quoting is a process that requires the achievement of the proper balance between the obligations of scientific reporting and the taking of artistic license. Quotes are used to support researcher claims, illustrate ideas, illuminate experience, evoke emotion, and provoke response. Quoting involves researchers in acts of choosing that lie in the domains of aesthetics and ethics.

How do we use empirical data? How do we present it? And, what work does data do? These questions are particularly pertinent for researchers that use voices from participants, such as interview or focus group data. For scholars who explore the spatialities of the social world, we must ask, how can we make such data 'speak' for and about such complexities? The problem of data presentation persists --particularly because the conventional outputs of choice such as the conference paper or the traditional academic journal article still restrict what can be achieved in allowing participant voices to be heard. This paper explores how scholars might use data in more experimental and creative ways, suggesting what work might such presentations methods do in helping our research 'speak'? It considers how one method, which is termed the 'data ensemble', may be used to effectively present qualitative material with breadth and depth to both demonstrate analysis and provoke thought.
