Sintesi	Visual elicitation ethnography is a qualitative research design that integrates sustained ethnographic fieldwork with the systematic use of visual stimuli — photographs, video clips, drawings, or participant-produced images — to prompt deeper, more reflexive accounts from community members. By combining prolonged immersion in a social setting with image-mediated interviews, researchers gain access to tacit knowledge and cultural meanings that verbal questioning alone rarely surfaces.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
