Preferred term

crisis of representation  

Definition

  • This phrase was coined by George Marcus and Michael Fischer to refer specifically to the uncertainty within the human sciences about adequate means of describing social reality. This crisis arises from the (noncontroversial) claim that no interpretive account can ever directly or completely capture lived experience. [Source: The SAGE Dictionary of Qualitative Inquiry; Crisis of Representation]
