Rooted in a three-year (2018–2021) research collaboration between Indigenous and white settler researchers in Canada, this article asks: how do we use, adapt and remake methods developed in Euro-western contexts for very different geopolitical contexts, specifically Indigenous ones? How do we do this without minimizing the harms caused by Euro-western methods and epistemologies (some of which are ongoing) while providing ample space for Indigenous histories and approaches to knowledge-making and world-making? We detail how we used and adapted a feminist, relational, narrative data analysis approach – the Listening Guide – in two research projects, reflecting on how and why we made modifications. We expand three key points from the 2012 Live Methods Manifesto, while advancing two arguments about methods in this paper. First, we maintain that as all methods have histories and exist within geopolitical, socio-cultural, philosophical, ethical, epistemological and ontological contexts, they are neither static objects nor recipes that can be uniformly applied. We argue that the Listening Guide, often referred to as a singular approach, is in fact multiple. Second, we assert the ecological liveliness of methods in practice and in their specific contexts – their flow and flux, processes of becoming, relationalities and refusals, disturbances and renewals. This means that the Live Methods Manifesto must also be a living and constantly remade guide that is attentive to diverse research relationships, responsiveness, reflexivity and responsibilities through all phases of research, including pre- and post-research reflections.

深度倾听、缓慢的关系、创造世界：《倾听指南》和《Live Methods 宣言》上的土著和女权主义生态反思

本文植根于加拿大土著和白人定居者研究人员之间为期三年（2018-2021 年）的研究合作，提出了以下问题：我们如何使用、调整和重塑在欧洲-西方环境中开发的方法，以适应非常不同的地缘政治背景，特别是土著背景？我们如何在不最小化欧洲西方方法和认识论（其中一些正在进行中）造成的危害的情况下做到这一点，同时为土著历史和知识创造和世界创造的方法提供充足的空间？我们在两个研究项目中详细介绍了我们如何使用和调整女权主义、关系、叙事性数据分析方法——倾听指南，反思我们如何以及为什么进行修改。我们扩展了 2012 年 Live Methods 宣言中的三个关键点，同时在本文中提出了关于方法的两个论点。首先，我们坚持认为，由于所有方法都有历史，并存在于地缘政治、社会文化、哲学、伦理、认识论和本体论的背景下，它们既不是静态的对象，也不是可以统一应用的配方。我们认为，Listening Guide（通常被称为单一方法）实际上是多种方法。其次，我们主张方法在实践中及其特定语境中的生态活力——它们的流动和流动、生成过程、关系和拒绝、干扰和更新。这意味着 Live Methods Manifesto 也必须是一个活生生的、不断重塑的指南，在研究的所有阶段，包括研究前和研究后的反思，关注不同的研究关系、响应能力、反思性和责任。
