Terra Incognita: Em-Bodied Data Analysis

In this article, the authors recuperate the mind–body connection lost in procedural and theoretical forms of qualitative analysis. They offer a glimpse into their em-bodied data analysis practice—movement, travel, and dreaming/meditation—as modes of analysis post-coding that respect the physical (body, movement, space, and time) and the metaphysical (dreams, mediation, creative acts) simultaneously. Daza describes her process as percolating, while Huckaby frames hers as trekking.
