Ethno-graphics? Drawing as a Tool for Gathering and Analyzing Ethnographic Data

Summary/Abstract: Drawing as a method of gathering and analyzing data is neglected in contemporary ethnographic research. It is also underutilized in qualitative social research in general. The paper discusses the research possibilities offered by drawing, as opposed to those offered by photography and film. Drawing is a highly multimodal medium. It allows for the integration of data that cannot be captured using other visual methods. We present the advantages of drawing as a research method. We illustrate the advantages of drawing using an example of a study carried out in courts. The text concludes with remarks on limitations of drawing as a method of gathering. We also indicate areas of research in which drawing should be treated as a viable research tool.
