Abstract

ABSTRACT Methodologically, Peace Research has long been dominated by words, numbers, and sometimes images. This article suggests also integrating Video Data Analysis (VDA) into the analytical toolbox of Peace Research so as to explore the potential of the millions of videos of relevance for the study of peace and conflict that can be found online and beyond. The article introduces VDA and shows how the method can be applied to analyse micro-dynamics of phenomena such as violence, conflict, mediation, and peacebuilding. Videos enable researchers to observe events that no or few researchers would otherwise have access to from their armchairs, integrating the attentiveness to interaction and atmosphere that only ethnographers would have. While losing the ethnographer’s benefit of ‘being there’, videos allow researchers to replay events in slow motion and thus capture subtle dynamics of timing, interaction, and affect. The article discusses the epistemological challenges, ethical dilemmas, and future promises of applying VDA in Peace Research and provides concrete examples of how the observation of affects reflected in body postures and facial expressions, as well as the social bonds reflected in the rhythm and content of interaction, can be of value in peace research.

影响、情绪和互动:和平研究中视频数据分析的方法学前景
在方法上,和平研究长期以来一直以文字、数字、有时还有图像为主导。本文还建议将视频数据分析(VDA)整合到和平研究的分析工具箱中,以探索在线和其他地方可以找到的数百万与和平与冲突研究相关的视频的潜力。本文介绍了VDA,并展示了该方法如何应用于分析暴力、冲突、调解和建设和平等现象的微观动力学。视频使研究人员能够观察到没有或很少有研究人员能够坐在扶手椅上观察到的事件,整合了只有人种学家才能拥有的对互动和氛围的关注。虽然失去了民族志学者“身临其境”的好处,但视频使研究人员能够以慢动作回放事件,从而捕捉到时间、互动和影响的微妙动态。本文讨论了在和平研究中应用VDA的认识论挑战、伦理困境和未来前景,并提供了具体的例子,说明如何观察反映在身体姿势和面部表情中的情感,以及反映在互动节奏和内容中的社会纽带,在和平研究中具有价值。
