Toward a post-multicase methodological approach

This article posits the use of adapted multicase methodology as appropriate to the exploration of participant cases and context that are fragmented, fluid, and interconnected artefacts of hypermediated postmodern experiences. This paper attempts to deconstruct conventional interpretations of “case” and “context,” in an effort to propose a methodological approach attuned to the boundary-less-ness and hybridity of the postmodern milieu. For illustrative purposes, adapted multicase methodology is employed toward exploring the gender identity construction and enactment of four self-identified female gamers.
