The Ontological Gerrymandering Debate pp.54-56 in Social Constructionism in Housing Research Ashgate (2004) Jim Kemeny Ch.4:

"At one level this is an impossible critique to answer. Everything clearly cannot be problematised at the same time in the same study: bracketing is and will always be an essential strategic decision for researchers to make. All research must by definition make certain phenomena problematic while leaving others unproblematic and to call managing this boundary ontological gerrymandering is a gross and unacceptable distortion."
