In this digital age the use of video in social science research
has become commonplace. As sophistication has increased along with
usability, as spiralling staff costs push out direct observation,
the researchers training today are grasping video as a means of
coming to terms with the continued pressure to produce accessible
research. However, the ?fit? of technology with research is far
from simple.
Ideally placed to offer guidance to developing researchers, this
new text draws together the theoretical, methodological and
practical issues of effectively using video across the social
sciences. This book concentrates on how researchers can benefit
from the use of video in their own research, whether it is:
- Video as representation
- Video as an aid to reflection
- Video that generates participation
- Video, voice and articulation, or
- Video that acts as a provocation.
In turn each of these five central functions is discussed in
relation to different stages of the research process, consisting
of:
- Research design
- Fieldwork and data collection
- Analysis of data and findings
- Dissemination.
As a practical research tool this book shows how, why and when
video should be used, representing an invaluable guide for
postgraduate and doctoral students conducting research in the
social sciences, as well as any researchers, academics or
professionals interested in developing technologically informed
research.
