In this paper, we critically explore the use of photovoice with a group of women anti-mining activists in the city of Cajamarca, Northern Peru, in order to understand the opportunities and challenges that the photovoice method presents for research with activists. We begin with an overview of participatory photography and photovoice approaches, before outlining the specific context of this research and providing a detailed methodological discussion of the photovoice process and the practical and ethical considerations of using this approach with women activists. We critically analyse the ways in which using photovoice with activists raises a particular set of issues to be negotiated in relation to access, ethical considerations, and the competing agendas of activists and researchers. We situate these debates in relation to existing literature on the use of participatory photography and photovoice in the global South, especially with women, and speak to broader literatures on researching activism and activists. We argue that participatory photography provides important opportunities for co-production of knowledge in research with social movement activists, and has a valuable role to play in enabling participants' own agendas to shape the research process and outputs, but also recognise the particular challenges that are presented by using this approach with women activists.

在本文中，我们将与秘鲁北部卡哈马卡市的一群反排雷活动家一起，探索光声的使用，以了解光声法为维权人士进行研究带来的机遇和挑战。在概述本研究的具体背景之前，我们将首先对参与式摄影和照相语音方法进行概述，并提供有关照相语音过程的详细方法论讨论以及与女性激进主义者一起使用此方法的实践和道德考虑。我们批判性地分析了与激进主义者一起使用photovoice的方式，提出了一系列有关访问，道德考虑以及激进主义者和研究人员竞争议程的特殊问题。我们将这些辩论与有关在全球南方（尤其是在妇女中）使用参与式摄影和摄影声的现有文献相关的讨论，并与广泛的有关研究激进主义和激进主义者的文献进行讨论。我们认为，参与式摄影为与社会运动活动家共同生产研究知识提供了重要机会，并且在使参与者自己的议程能够影响研究过程和产出的过程中发挥着重要作用，但同时也认识到了挑战通过与女性活动家一起使用此方法呈现。
