Abstract

In the contemporary world visual data are found in a range of forms and formats and in a variety of practical empirical contexts. Our Introduction considers the growth of visual studies in recent decades and its increasing focus upon practices of visualization and representation. Contributions to this special issue are introduced to highlight the diversity of approaches and topics used by researchers employing visual methods. The articles presented here range from developments out of Garfinkel’s ethnomethodology to studies concerned to promote a focus on aspects of human dignity and community.
