ABSTRACT Engaged ethnography requires a deep rationale for involvement and a passion for a particular cause. Visual ethnography implements an aesthetic component, compliment, or fold into that complex, multi-layered engagement. This theoretical research attempts to move beyond traditional, epistemic debates and blend anthropological, communicative, and sociological concepts to form a cohesive approach to knowledge construction that exposes power, educates on publicly important issues, and reaches a critical consciousness to visually engage the public sphere. It is through that effort to recognize when a break from the shackle of our own limits of consciousness can create previously unattainable knowledge.

视觉参与的民族志：构建知识和批判意识

摘要 从事民族志需要深入的参与理由和对特定事业的热情。视觉民族志在复杂的、多层次的参与中实现了审美成分、赞美或折叠。这项理论研究试图超越传统的认识论辩论，融合人类学、交际学和社会学概念，以形成一种凝聚力的知识构建方法，该方法展示权力，就公共重要问题进行教育，并达到批判意识以视觉参与公共领域。正是通过这种努力，才能认识到何时摆脱我们自己意识极限的束缚可以创造以前无法获得的知识。
