Inhabited Silence in Qualitative Research demonstrates or «puts to work » poststructural
theory in the doing of qualitative research. Using this theoretical approach the book proposes
a data set lacking in the methodological literature namely silence. It highlights the need for
qualitative researchers not to dismiss silence as an omission or an absence of empirical
materials but rather to engage silence as meaningful and purposeful. This is an important book
that should be read by researchers teachers and students.
