More extensive methodology is required to study the complexities of
everyday life in the rapidly expanding urban areas around the
globe, as well as to gain a better understanding of life in
established urban areas. Presented over two volumes, Visual and
Multimodal Urban Sociology A and B explore the use and potential of
visual materials and methodologies that expand the level of
analysis and ways of seeing in urban sociology. Both volumes
comprise examinations of sources, tools, and methods to capture,
analyze, and communicate the visual dimension of urban
environments, using existing visual sources as well as visual media
as tools to both produce data and communicate insights and views on
the contemporary urban condition and experience. Visual and
Multimodal Urban Sociology Part A imagines the sensory city through
cross disciplinary perspectives, methods, and technology,
considering the city as home, the past as a data visualization and
analysis tool, geo-referencing and historic photographs, playing
the Early Renaissance City, and concluding with learning from
street view. Yielding empirical data and insights regarding the
visually observable impact of urban planners, designers,
advertisers, commercial forces, cultural institutions, local
authorities, artists, protesters as social agents in the
(re)production of urban cultural processes, both volumes are a
novel and wide-ranging contribution that advances the contours and
potential of a more ‘visual’ urban sociology.

Multimodal Urban Sociology Part B explores the urban every day in
globalizing cities, considering utilizing perception in motion, the
visual component of neighbourhoods, smoking in the city,
resignifying urban traces of colonialism, visual/sensory
ethnography and co-living with death, and isolated buildings as
indicators of social change. Yielding empirical data and insights
regarding the visually observable impact of urban planners,
designers, advertisers, commercial forces, cultural institutions,
local authorities, artists, protesters as social agents in the

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. 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 PART 7: COMMUNICATING
THE VISUAL: FORMATS AND CONCERNS
The burgeoning field of 'visual social science' is rooted in the
idea that valid scientific insight into culture and society can be
acquired by observing, analyzing and theorizing its visual
manifestations: visible behavior of people and material products of
culture. Reframing Visual Social Science provides a well-balanced,
critical-constructive and systematic overview of existing and
emerging modes of visual social and cultural research. The book
includes integrated models and conceptual frameworks, analytical
approaches to scrutinizing existing imagery and multimodal
phenomena, a systematic presentation of more active ways and
formats of visual scholarly production and communication, and a
number of case studies which exemplify the broad fields of
application. Finally, visual social research is situated within a
wider perspective by addressing the issue of ethics; by presenting
a generic approach to producing, selecting and using visual
representations; and through discussing the specific challenges and
opportunities of a 'more visual' social science.
