This chapter ventures into the philosophy of science, and so is harder going than the rest of the book. We want to demonstrate that there are two basic ways of thinking scientifically about situatedness. The dominant one is the one that Jackson (2011) calls reflexivist. We will proceed to discuss this position and juxtapose it with another one that Jackson calls analyticist. The analyticist position relates to situated research not primarily through awareness of changes in the researcher self, like in the reflexivist position, but through awareness of the changes the researcher produces in his relations within fields. We start with a brief summary of reflexivism and engage with two basic criticisms of it, go on to present the analyticist position and end by comparing them.
