Abstract

Photovoice is an increasingly popular research method across disciplines due to its flexibility and capacity for generating rich data. This article argues that while its practical virtues are abundant, the theoretical contributions of photovoice to qualitative research are just as important. We argue that photographs can act as boundary objects that enable collective sensemaking at multiple stages of a research study. This is fulfilled through a case study of gas extraction and distribution networks and their social consequences in West Virginia, a state in the United States deeply entrenched geographically and culturally in natural resource extraction. Ultimately, this case study demonstrates that photovoice as a process and photographs as artifacts are sites for rich collaborative interpretation and provides a model of how to operationalize photos in multiple stages of research so that study designs are centered around participant experiences.

通过照片进行协作感知:使用照片语音研究阿巴拉契亚的天然气管道开发
由于其灵活性和生成丰富数据的能力,光声是一种越来越受欢迎的跨学科研究方法。本文认为,光声在具有丰富的实践价值的同时,对定性研究的理论贡献也同样重要。我们认为照片可以作为边界对象,在研究的多个阶段实现集体意义。这是通过对西弗吉尼亚州天然气开采和分销网络及其社会后果的案例研究来实现的,西弗吉尼亚州是美国地理和文化上根深蒂固的自然资源开采州。最后,本案例研究表明,作为一个过程的照片和作为人工制品的照片是丰富的协作解释的场所,并提供了一个如何在多个研究阶段操作照片的模型,以便研究设计以参与者体验为中心。

期刊介绍: Qualitative Research is a fully peer reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on the methodological diversity and multi-disciplinary focus of qualitative research within the social sciences. Research based on qualitative methods, and methodological commentary on such research, have expanded exponentially in the past decades. This is the case across a number of disciplines including sociology, social anthropology, health and nursing, education, cultural studies, human geography, social and discursive psychology, and discourse studies.
