Descrição: What is qualitative research? Aspers and Corte ( 2019 ) make a case for a definition that they believe captures what many qualitative researchers intuitively know. Although I agree with many of the authors’ points, I argue that the effort to identify what makes qualitative research qualitative requires there to be a clear single thing to define, and there is not; that confronting this fact forces their paper into a central contradiction; and that in spite of these and other problems, the paper succeeds in crystalizing questions that qualitative researchers must grapple with today. The authors’ most valuable contribution may be less its definition than the issues we are forced to clarify when concluding what we think about it.
