Anti-Methods : Expressive Forms of Researching Culture

In occluding the more discordant aspects of everyday life, spaces such as the city and the home acquire an 'anatomy' of harmonious organs which smoothly and efficiently process the vital flows of social life. Likewise, positivism filters out unwanted residues in order to represent a distilled system in which a certain orderliness and predictability is always already proven. We argue that the 'disappearance' of these subterranean knowledges and practices from rationalized spaces and methods signals not their demise but their resistance to the positivist project. If these residua are to be given expression, what new procedures or anti-methods will be needed?
