Endorse the ‘strategic relational approach’ of Jessop (1990) regarding how actors, actions and contexts articulate. 26 Realism and Social Science We need to know not only what the main strategies were of actors, but what it was about the context which enabled them to be successful or otherwise. This is consistent with the realist concept of causation and requires us to ask the kinds of realist questions about necessary and suYcient conditions noted earlier, so as to decide what it was about a certain context which allowed a certain action to be successful.
1 (Ullmann, 1962). 1 The signiWcation triangle metaphors and metonymies, enables conceptualization, albeit again, always through its relations of difference to other signiWeds. The signiWcation process takes place through networks of such triangles, and what is a signiWer or signiWed in one triangle may become the referent of another. Meaning, on this account, is still constituted through difference, though not only through difference. Moreover, the generation of meaning and the success of acts of reference are inXuenced by context (Nellhaus, 1998).
They are not only likely to undergo modiWcation as they are absorbed into different conceptual frames, but in any case they too are not identical to the practices which they inform and describe. Fourthly, not all social research involves interaction and dialogue between the researcher and the researched through interviews, questionnaires, participant observation, where the answers given by the researched are likely to be inXuenced by the researcher. Plenty of social research is done without this interaction, not least because dialogue is often impossible, inappropriate or unnecessary.
