“…From this perspective, different research tools and instruments are presented below, which were key to the recognition of the findings of this research. Following the statement made by Lisa-Jo K. Van den Scott (2018), in her work "Visual Methods in Ethnography", "Visuals can add a layer of depth to our analysis, can offer patterns for analysis, if we attend to them" ( p.721); in this reflection, we place special emphasis on what the visual can contribute to an investigation of this type.…”

In recent years, urban design development has been an important topic in Latin American cities such as Medellín due to the transformation of their urban spaces, along with the new methods used to evaluate the social, morphological, and, in some cases, economic impacts that have been brought about by the urban development projects. When inquiring about the development process and impact of urban studies, and the inhabitants’ relation to a transformed space, it is important to establish the context within which images, drawings, and photographs are analyzed, using graphical approaches triangulated with other research methods to define comparative criteria. In this article, we reflect on the expanded use of various research tools for the analysis of urban transformation, taking with reference the experience lived by a group of researchers in two Latin American cities. From this, it is intended to understand how they work and how they allow us to understand the urban transformation of these cities, the data obtained, and the vision of the researchers.

“…Um conjunto específico de metodologias baseadas na arte diz respeito às metodologias visuais, nas quais as imagens são usadas para aprender sobre o mundo social. Estas metodologias permitem capturar o que muitas vezes não se consegue explicar, alteram a nossa forma de ver certas coisas ou situações, e podem ser veículos de comunicação mais acessíveis que as palavras do discurso científico (Banks, 2001;Hartel, Lundh, Sonnenwald & Foster, 2012;Harper, 2002;Perelló et al, 2012;van den Scott, 2018). As imagens usadas no trabalho científico entrelaçam-se com as palavras para contar histórias, podendo assumir diferentes funções, promovendo uma maior ou menor participação.…”

A Investigação e a Escrita: Publicar sem Perecer é uma coletânea publicada em Português, a partir de uma experiência de cinco anos de formação avançada extracurricular (Publicar sem Perecer: Sobreviver ao Turbilhão), em literacia da informação, escrita e publicação científica. Esta é uma reflexão e uma problematização do que deve ser o papel da ciência num contexto que, cada vez mais, parece querer reproduzir na academia o mercantilismo de índole neoliberal. Aqui se lê a colaboração de autorias nacionais e internacionais que consideram uma diversidade de campos teóricos e empíricos sobre o fenómeno. Esta obra pretende ser um contributo para identificar e questionar os problemas daí resultantes, tentando apontar algumas soluções para o mal-estar crescente que se vive no mundo académico.

“…Harper 2012), human and physical geography (Thornes 2004), tourism studies (Rakić & Chambers, 2011), and library and information sciences (Pollak 2017). Because of this breadth, there is an incredible methodological and theoretical diversity in this area (Pauwels 2012;Scott 2018;Stanczak 2007) that draws on varied forms of data, including 'found' artefacts from the social world, materials produced by research participants (diaries, audio recordings, videos, photographs), as well as researcher produced items (such as video recordings or photos) (Pauwels, 2012). However, one of the unifying features of research in this field is that researchers "prioritize sight and the meaning making of imagery" (Scott 2018: 721) and the functioning of 'visual discourses' (Traue, Blanc, & Cambre 2019).…”

Seeing as accountable action: The interactional accomplishment of sensorial work

In this article it is argued that the growing field of the sociology of the senses has had a strong methodological focus on people’s accounts of their sensorial experiences at the expense of studying the practical achievement of sense work as an interactional phenomenon. Recent work has called for more innovative methods in sensorial scholarship and the use of creative approaches to explore the senses. While applauding this move, in this article the authors show the importance of a focus on micro-behavioural actions in studying the senses. Drawing on ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, they analyse video recordings of near vision tests in optometry consultations illustrating the highly routinised, but also the embodied and improvised character of the actions through which the vision is made available for scrutiny. They argue that sensorial scholarship has sidelined the study of social context as a lived-order and demonstrate the importance of treating sensorial actions as routinised, embodied and improvisatory. The authors agree that using more creative methods would be valuable but caution against relying exclusively on methods that do not sufficiently contextualise the senses as a lived and practical social accomplishment.
