摘要：The article investigates a specific type of participatory methodology that we consider under-described in the current literature on research methods and research roles in social and cultural analysis. Influenced by Bergold & Thomas’ (2012) definition of participatory methodologies we understand this as based on a partnership between practitioners and academic researchers who follow each other – cf. the term ‘accompanying’ – for a period of time with the double purpose of researching and being researched and with the terms of the collaboration being jointly defined. Taking inspiration also from Andersen (2008) we understand accompanying research as something we do, perform and develop in collaboration, and in the article we unfold accompanying research as a process and way of organizing to have consequences also for the specific methods used as well as the output of the research. Our understanding of the methodology will be developed through three case-studies of accompanying research engagements of our own – ‘Ej blot til lyst’, ‘Rødder’, and ‘Sager der samler’ – and a concluding discussion of how to create research outputs in and through these types of collaboration.
