N2  - "We live in a visual culture, and visual evidence is fast becoming key in social research. In this collection an international range of experts explain how they have used visual methods in their own research, what their advantages and limitations have been and how they have worked alongside other research techniques. Contributors explore the following ideas:* self and identity* visualizing domestic space* visualizing urban landscapes* visualizing social change.Methods covered include photo and video diaries, juxtaposing official and unofficial views, using images as triggers in interview work, working with children through photographs, and combining visual methods with interviews and text-based research.The result is an original and coherent work that will be indispensable for any student, academic or researcher interested in the use of visual methods."--Publisher description
