Reanimating Relationships Between Movement, Meaning, and the Image: Shifting Understandings About Video Data in Qualitative Research

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In this symposium, three critical qualitative researchers with expertise in multimodal and arts-informed methodologies reconsider the relationship between seeing, thinking, and knowing in video research. Taking video as a starting point, researchers re-enter data from past projects in order to analyze the textures, sounds, and sensations of the environs of their work. Drawing on the work of MacDougall (2006), the authors share examples of how they traced movement beyond the frame to emphasize video as a corporeal act. Revealing commonalities and connections that were previously silenced and/or remained unnoticed, the authors invite participants to reconsider how they can trouble the history of visual data and reimagine possible futures for video in qualitative research.
