Резюме	Digital visual analysis is a qualitative approach for systematically examining visual materials that originate in, circulate through, or are consumed within digital environments — including social media images, video content, screenshots, memes, infographics, and online multimodal texts. Drawing on visual methodologies and digital research methods, it attends not only to what images depict but also to how they are produced, shared, and interpreted within specific digital platforms and social contexts.	Content analysis is a systematic research technique for reducing text, visual, or media material into coded categories so that patterns can be counted, compared, and interpreted. Formalised by Klaus Krippendorff in his widely cited methodology textbook (latest edition 2018), the method sits at the boundary of qualitative and quantitative inquiry: it imposes structured, replicable coding on inherently meaning-laden material.	Digital ethnography is a qualitative research method that adapts traditional ethnographic fieldwork to online and digitally mediated settings. Drawing on sustained participant observation, document collection, and sometimes interviews, the researcher immerses themselves in one or more digital communities — social media platforms, forums, gaming spaces, or messaging groups — to understand how culture, identity, and social practice are constructed through digital interaction. The approach recognises that online spaces are not merely reflections of offline life but distinctive sites of cultural production in their own right.
