In this article, we address the simplistic use of the interview as a methodological technique that abstracts the humanist subject as an object for analysis. Rather than simply a tool of inquiry, we present the interview as a wholly engaged encounter, a means for making accessible the multiple intersections of material context that collude in productive formations of meaning. In this process, we hope to indicate the possibility for the interview to function as intervention at the level of what Michel de Certeau terms the tactical. As such, the research process may include, adjacent to and alongside the proper artifact of the transcript, the material basis of its metaphors, affecting and affected by the meanings made possible in the design, encounter, and interpretation of the interview. We suggest that the embodied act of walking mobilizes the tactical and makes possible thoughts that would not find expression in the seated interview. Drawing upon theorizations of Deleuze, de Certeau, and Barad, we point to the possibilities inherent in embodied metaphor and indirect logic formations as a means to better understand daily practices and expressions of tactical resistance. In this intra-action, and through the newly framed intraview, diffractive seeing is made possible, an integrative becoming with knowing
