The second, thoroughly revised and expanded, edition of The SAGE Handbook of Visual Research Methods presents a wide-ranging exploration and overview of the field today. As in its first edition, the Handbook does not aim to present a consistent view or voice, but rather to exemplify diversity and contradictions in perspectives and techniques. The selection of chapters from the first edition have been fully updated to reflect current developments. New chapters to the second edition cover key topics including picture-sorting techniques, creative methods using artefacts, visual framing analysis, therapeutic uses of images, and various emerging digital technologies and online practices. At the core of all contributions are theoretical and methodological debates about the meanings and study of the visual, presented in vibrant accounts of research design, analytical techniques, fieldwork encounters and data presentation. This handbook presents a unique survey of the discipline that will be essential reading for scholars and students across the social and behavioural sciences, arts and humanities, and far beyond these disciplinary boundaries.

This handbook presents a unique survey of the discipline that will be essential reading for scholars and students across the social and behavioural sciences, arts and humanities, and far beyond these disciplinary boundaries. The Handbook is organized into seven main sections: PART 1: FRAMING THE FIELD OF VISUAL RESEARCH; PART 2: VISUAL AND SPATIAL DATA PRODUCTION METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES; PART 3: PARTICIPATORY AND SUBJECT-CENTERED APPROACHES; PART 4: ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORKS AND PERSPECTIVES; PART 5: MULTIMODAL AND MULTISENSORIAL RESEARCH; PART 6: RESEARCHING ONLINE PRACTICES; and PART 7: COMMUNICATING THE VISUAL: FORMATS AND CONCERNS.

Visual ethnography refers to the study of the social world, where drawing, photography, film, and digital techniques are commonly used to record aspects of everyday life, alongside the interrogation of visual culture. This entry provides a background to the field of visual ethnography and reflects on both its historical applications across different disciplines and its contemporary uses as an approach to social research methods. The entry asks, "How do researchers collect and generate visual data?" In answering this question, it focuses on how researchers "do" a visual ethnographic study, setting out different approaches to, and techniques of, creating visual data, including assemblages of photographs, collections of artefacts, and the participatory techniques of film, mapping, and collage. The second question, "How do researchers analyse visual materials?" leads to a discussion of how researchers come "to know" the visual artefact itself and the social contexts in which images are made and viewed, offering visual ethnographers new opportunities to understand social practices and relationships as they are articulated through the visual. Lastly, the entry turns to issues of dissemination and attends to the challenge, "How do researchers negotiate ethics, visibility, and representation?" In response, a number of approaches are presented as ways to ethically present, and re-represent, visual data to engage audiences and generate impact. The entry notes that visual ethnography has much to offer the field of social research but that it is important that researchers continue to work on developing its methodological, analytical, and ethical agendas for the future. The entry provides a foundation for gaining an understanding of visual ethnography and a basis for engaging with this project of development, offering strategies for negotiating best practice in fieldwork, analysis, and visual audiencing.
