Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Researching the Visual provides a comprehensive introduction to the entire field of 'visual research', exploring a range of approaches to visual inquiry that have previously been considered in isolation. The contributions of traditions as diverse as semiotics, ethnomethodology, symbolic interactionism and material culture studies are reviewed and their potential application for the visual researcher are demonstrated. The first part of the book deals with the more traditional themes in visual research: these centre on the use of photographic images in ethnographic inquiry and the cultural interpretation of texts such as advertisements. The authors then argue that visual inquiry should also embrace the analysis of everyday objects, places and forms of social interaction. Accessibly presented, yet methodologically rigorous and theoretically grounded, the relevance of leading theorists such as Foucault, Bordieu, Goffman and Hall is also discussed. Numerous student exercises and projects (over 60 in total) are included, which demonstrate that 'low-tech, low-budget' visual research can provide methodologically sophisticated ways of testing and developing cultural theory. Generously illustrated with images and diagrams, the text serves to bring the various theoretical points into focus. ISBN 9780761958468 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Sinopsis

`The book has a solid practical feel to it, and although it deals philosophically with leading theorists such as Foucault, Goffman, Bourdieu and Hall it grounds the practice of visual research into everyday use... Weaved cleverly throughout are numerous practical exercises which draw together the theoretical concepts and give them a grounded rational element. This book is a valuable research tool and I would anticipate that many researchers will find it a worthwhile addition to their armoury' - Mental Health Care

`This is a very useful book indeed for students; and a welcome reminder to academics about observational methods made unfashionable by ethics committees and critical ethnography' - Qualitative Research

`It is one of the best available textbooks on visual research methodology, particularly for those who are interested in anthropology and theoretical sociology' - A K Sinha, Sociological Bulletin

Providing a comprehensive introduction to the entire field of visual research, this book reviews the contributions of traditions as diverse as semiotics, ethnomethodology, symbolic interactionism and material culture studies and demonstrates their potential application for the visual researcher.

The first part of the book deals with the more traditional themes in visual research. These center on the use of photographic images in ethnographic enquiry and the cultural interpretation of texts such as advertisements. It then goes on to show how visual research should also embrace the analysis of everyday objects, places and forms of social interactions. Accessibly presented yet methodologically rigorous and theoretically grounded, the relevance of leading theorists such as Foucault, Bourdieu, Goffman and Hall are discussed.

The book includes numerous exercises which show students how `low-tech, low-budget' visual research can provide methodologically sophisticated ways of testing and developing cultural theory. The book is generously illustrated with images, and diagrams that serve to bring the various theoretical points into focus.
