Abstract
nomer ‘visual participatory research’ or ‘collaborative methods’ (Pauwels, 2010, 2015). Basically, the RGIP method involves asking respondents to produce visual output (e.g., photographs, video, drawings, installations), which is connected to a specific research question or interest. Typically these assignments will be phrased in fairly general terms and usually relate to the immediate world and experiences of the respondent (e.g., ‘depict the aspects of your neighborhood that have a special meaning to you’, or ‘make photographs of what you like and what you dislike about your present situation’). The central premise of this approach is that the resulting visual products will contain and communicate essential traits of the respondent culture and experience, including things that are sometimes hard to put into words for various reasons. These visual products are then further analysed by the researcher, often in conjunction with the makers. This entry first introduces the basic traits of RGIP. It then moves on to differentiate scholarly and more activist uses of RGIP like photovoice and community video. Next, auto-driven photo elicitation is discussed as a merger of RGIP with another popular visual method, called photo 25 September 2019 elicitation. Finally, RGIP is examined as part of the broader domain of visual participatory research methods.
