Abstract

This chapter examines relationships between theory and method in untold storytelling research. The essay draws on David Boje’s organisational storytelling work and historical insights from Science Technology Studies are used to consider issues of method raised in Boje’s work. TamaraLand provides a point of departure and the chapter considers the consequences of a TamaraLand metaphor for research practice. Continuing with Boje’s work the study examines both an emerging ‘quantum’ approach and implications of this approach for methods. Finally, the chapter interjects four fragments from STS to further examine challenges in researching untold stories as unfinished and boundless work.
