Reflexivity is, roughly, when studying or theorising about a target itself influences that target. Fragility is, roughly, when causal or other relations are hard to predict, holding only intermittently or fleetingly. Which is more important, methodologically? By going systematically through cases that do and do not feature each of them, I conclude that it is fragility that matters, not reflexivity. In this light, I interpret and extend the claims made about reflexivity in a recent paper by Jessica Laimann (2020). I finish by assessing the benefits and costs of a focus on reflexivity.

自反性和脆弱性

粗略地说,当研究或理论化目标本身会影响该目标时,反身性就是。粗略地说,当因果关系或其他关系难以预测时,脆弱性只是断断续续或转瞬即逝。在方法论上哪个更重要?通过系统地分析每个案例的特征和特征,我得出结论,重要的是脆弱性,而不是反身性。有鉴于此,我解释并扩展了 Jessica Laimann(2020 年)最近的一篇论文中关于反身性的主张。最后,我评估了专注于反思性的好处和成本。
