Sumario:This paper discussions the implications of returning to 'old' interview data many years later and asks what can be learned from the different emotions that such revisiting can invoke in the researcher? It considers the significance of emotions in the process of analysing interview transcripts and how a researcher changes over time. It calls on researchers to 'revisit' past data for another look. This paper offers critical reflections on what it means to return to old data (especially interview transcripts) a while after they were generated. It suggests the important role that the researcher's emotions play in the process.
