| Résumé : |
Calls are multiplying for qualitative researchers to ‘position’ their knowledge. They are invited to exercise more reflexivity (Harding, 1991 ; Rose, 1997). Positionality is presented as an ethical imperative, guarding the researcher against the temptation to impose their own categories or forms of knowledge to the people being studied. Indeed, research should leave all the necessary space for subjects’ voices to express themselves (Nagar-Ron et Motzafi-Haller, 2011 ; Spivak, 1988). But what of research concerning things rather than people ? What voices can be carried when research participants are objects, rather than subjects ? What is the researcher’s ethical responsibility towards objects ? Building on the work of Bruno Latour (1994) on interobjectivity, I propose that the ‘objective’ researcher is not the one who dismisses the imperative of positionality and the invitation to let participants express their voice. On the contrary, the objective researcher precisely gives a voice to objects and is on the lookout for their own expressive modalities. This paper reveals that strategies already exist to make objects speak, that qualitative researchers could adopt. |
