"Intersubjectivity-Intervent Action" Frame: Reflection Spectrum in Qualitative Research

Qualitative research has three dilemmas: intersubjectivity, political representation, and participatory action. The former two are epistemological dilemmas, whereas the last is dilemmas in Emancipatory Politics and action. The journey of scholars' reflections upon these three dilemmas has gone through, step by step, their breadth, depth, and intensity. A series of reflections, including those first on the object and now on the research itself and then on the cognitive research and now on the action research, have converged to form the "intersubjectivity-intervent action" reflection spectrum in qualitative research. This paper provides a systematic, theoretical review in this regard. Adapted from the source document.
