概要	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.	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.
