Show Us What You Are Looking at. Visual Participatory Research As a Way to Collect and to Exhibit Social Interpretations

Working on social justice with people having different literacy levels, how can we present their interpretations in the way we interviewed them, i.e. without relying solely on words?

On a theoretical level, this contribution proposes a way of disrupting conventional representation, to sustain deteritorialisation as Deleuze an Guattari (1972) conceptualized it.

In concrete terms, people are first asked to show what attracts them in a picture by tracing lines or masking parts of it.

This presentation will focus on 2 case studies with 2 digital dispositive conceived to organise and exhibit visual interpretation based on still and motion pictures.
