Article Review Reflexivity As A Methodology By Its...

GI402 Summative Essay Jayati Lal argues that ‘reflexivity [cannot be] an end in itself ’ and suggests that a ‘reflexive and self-critical methodological stance can become meaningful only when it engages in the politics of reality and intervenes in it in some significant way’ (1996: 207). Critically discuss. With the growth in discussion of power relation between researcher and researched, it is noticed that position of researcher is important to be involved in research process (Rich, 1986; Code, 1995; McCorkel Myers, 2003; Grenz, 2005). Reflexivity, then, is a epistemic methodology to evaluating researchers’ roles, researching method and outcomes. This article is aimed to discussing ‘Reflexivity’ as a methodology by its existing influence and so-far problems. Arguing the meanings of reflexive methodology for qualitative research, I will bring up different opinions of reflexivity compared to Jayati Lal’s statement. ç ¬ ¬Ã¤ ¸â‚¬Ã©Æ' ¨Ã¥Ë†â€ Ã¯ ¼Å¡Ã¨ ¨Å½Ã¨ «â€"Ã¥  Ã¨ º «Ã¦â‚¬ § ï ¼  Ã¥  Ã¨ º «Ã¦â‚¬ §Ã§Å¡â€žÃ¦â€" ¹Ã¦ ³â€¢Ã¨ «â€"〠Ã©â€¡ Ã¨ ¦ Ã¦â‚¬ §Ã£â‚¬ Ã¥  ¯Ã¨Æ' ½Ã¥â€¢ Ã© ¡Å'(ç µ Ã¥ Ë†JayatiÃ¥  Ã¥ ° Ã§Å¡â€žÃ©Æ' ¨Ã¥Ë†â€ ) Ã¥  Ã¨ º «Ã¦â‚¬ §Ã¦Ëœ ¯Ã£â‚¬Å'çŸ ¥Ã¨ ­ËœÃ£â‚¬ Ã¥ ¦â€šÃ¤ ½â€¢Ã¨â„¢â€¢Ã§ â€ Ã§Å¸ ¥Ã¨ ­ËœÃ£â‚¬ Ã¤ ¹â€¹Ã©â€"“çš„å · ®Ã§â€¢ ° Reflexivity is the continual evaluation of relation between ‘knowledge’ and ‘the method of producing knowledge’ (Calà ¡s and Smircich, 1992).

SELF- REFLEXIVITY International Politics is really my craft and is where I am aligned into. I thought of different issues that I could actually study regarding my interests. I thought of Roadmap for Economic Integration and ASEAN Common Time. Both are interesting enough, but would cause me a lot of time and pressures since some terms and issues and document are not readily available.
