Σύνοψη	Visual elicitation netnography is a qualitative online research design that adapts netnographic fieldwork to center visual data — images, videos, memes, and multimedia posts — both as primary data and as elicitation stimuli for deeper participant meaning-making. It extends Kozinets's netnography into the visually saturated landscapes of contemporary social media, treating user-generated imagery as a culturally rich text for ethnographic interpretation.	Netnography is a qualitative research method that adapts the principles of cultural ethnography to the study of online communities and social media environments. Coined by Robert Kozinets in 1997 and systematised in his 2010 handbook, netnography treats digital spaces — forums, social networks, blogs, review sites — as naturally occurring field sites where communities gather, share meanings, and construct identities. The method combines unobtrusive observation of digital traces with active participation and, where appropriate, direct member interaction.
