This paper examines the assumptions that have guided the opposition between quantitative and qualitative methods in human and social sciences, focusing on the scalability aspect as an epistemological problem. It is about retaking some points of this debate regarding the new information technologies (NTI), focusing on the impact of large data production. Understanding method as research logic, the proposal retakes the discussions of Lev Manovich and Bruno Latour as a reference for a re-reading of the dichotomy between quantitative and qualitative methods in human and social sciences.
