Digital methods II: Digital-visual methods

Abstract

Digital-visual methods enrol digital-visual artefacts as evidence or objects of study in research, and/or they rely on digital media and computational techniques to collect, explore, and analyse visual data. The use of digital-visual methods has increasingly figured in human geographic research over the last decade, coalescing around: i) work that interrogates digital-visual scopic regimes and politics; ii) scholarship that engages digital-visual artefacts, namely screens and interfaces, as immediate objects of research; and iii) research that employs natively-digital mediums and techniques to generate research data, analyse digital-visual artefacts, and produce visualizations.
