Visual Elicitation Discourse Analysis

Visual Elicitation Discourse Analysis (VEDA) is a qualitative method that uses photographs or other images as interview stimuli to generate participant talk, which is then subjected to systematic discourse analysis. By anchoring conversation in concrete visual materials, VEDA accesses meanings, ideologies, and subject positions that purely verbal questioning often fails to surface. The approach combines the depth of elicitation interviewing with the critical, language-focused rigour of discourse analysis.
