Recently, post-qualitative research methods are on the rise in intercultural research, not least to avoid epistemic violence. This paradigm builds on an open epistemology that contrasts with approaches that a priori have a given concept in mind like culture. This article analyses the discourse of intercultural communication in journal articles from the fields of autoethnography, participatory research and arts-based research on the intercultural to find out whether, or how, these texts resolve this epistemic and methodological dilemma. As a result, these new methods often serve authors to experiment with new and visionary forms of the intercultural and its ethical implications.
