Abstract
This paper opens the space of post-qualitative research through an exploration of how acts of recognition and non-recognition work on and through the bodies of individual subjects. Using stories generated in a collective biography workshop and drawing on concepts from Foucault and Butler, and also, in contrast, Barad and Deleuze, the paper explores the way these different epistemologies intra-act with ways of seeing/reading/being recognizable subjects.

Acknowledgements
We would like to acknowledge our indebtedness to Geert Van Hove for bringing us together and actively engaging with us every step of the way.
Notes
1. Butler draws extensively on Foucault and her citations of his work make their commonality evident. Barad rarely refers to Deleuze, so our finding of common threads between them comes from our own interpretation of their work.
