Plagued by doubt and methodological unease, two researchers from a large Australian study resolve
their quandary by revisiting methodological literature related to narrative inquiry, visual approaches
and contemporary interviewing to find that the application of poststructuralist theory to methodology
provides a useful way of addressing their concerns. Before embarking on extensive writing about
the project, they trouble issues of data authenticity, analytic integrity and the problem of voice. The
main value of this deliberation is its applicability to the wider discourse about contemporary qualitative
inquiry that other researchers facing analytical dilemmas may also find helpful.
