Abstract
This rejoinder reflects an important step, for me, in a preoccupation
with methodology that has provided me with many hours of enjoyable
reading, not to mention anxiety. For me the ‘reality’ of the incommensurable
nature of paradigms and acceptance of the legitimacy of a range of
conceptual and philosophical traditions came late. As a constructionist
I find myself on the ‘anything goes’ end of methodology choice. This
paper and my main paper ought not to be read as a critique of ‘middle
range’ theory, but as a critique of an important and necessary aspect
of the way we all seek to inscribe facts and structure our writing.
What follows is a reflection of the influence Bruno Latour’s writings
have had on my ways of seeing and perhaps an unhealthy emphasis on
the small things that combine to produce convincing arguments and
‘facts’.
