Visual Elicitation Conversation Analysis

Visual elicitation conversation analysis (VECA) is a qualitative hybrid method that uses photographs, drawings, maps, or other visual stimuli to prompt and structure participant talk, and then subjects the resulting interaction to systematic conversation analysis (CA). The approach leverages the evocative power of images to generate richer, more embodied accounts of experience while applying CA's rigorous sequential analysis of turn-taking, repair, and action formation to reveal how meaning is collaboratively constructed in situ.
