Handbook of Participatory Video

Participatory video is a growing area of research and an increasingly popular tool among practitioners, researchers, and NGOs working with communities around the world. The Handbook of Participatory Video advances the field, engaging critically with it as a research methodology and method and interrogating assumptions about itsemancipatory nature and potential for social change. In twenty-eight chapters, contributors examine historical, ethical, methodological, andtechnicalaspects of participatory video and discuss power,ownership, and knowledge production. The Handbook is organized into six parts: Locating Participatory Video, Participatory Video as a Critical Research Methodology, Working with Visual Data, Power and Ethics in Participatory Video, Dissemination and Reaching New Audiences, and Communities and Technologies. This benchmark work takes aninterdisciplinary and global approach and will be invaluable to researchers, practitioners, and students.
