Resumen:
This paper attempts to discuss the qualitative methodological approach of Jack Katz in its historical framework of production. In doing so, we aim to analyze the actual relevance of these discussions and their impact in the qualitative-quantitative dilemma. Revisiting Katz?s ideas and complementing them with some critical remarks about the limits, misuses and biases of the four R?s (representativeness, reactivity, reliability and replicability) in quantitative research implies a significant contribution to the understanding of qualitative research?s value in its own terms. In many ways, Katz?s methodological ideas anticipated later developments.
