Rezumat	Visual elicitation document analysis is a qualitative method that uses visual materials — photographs, drawings, institutional images, maps, or archival visuals — embedded within or alongside documents to prompt deeper participant reflection and to enrich the interpretive reading of those documents. By treating visuals as primary analytic objects rather than mere illustrations, the approach bridges visual elicitation (provoking meaning-making through images) and systematic document analysis (examining records for evidence of social, institutional, or cultural processes).	Narrative analysis is a qualitative research method, synthesised canonically by Catherine Kohler Riessman (2008), that examines how individuals storise their lived experiences and construct meaning through the telling. Drawing on life history, biographical, and narrative inquiry traditions, it treats the story itself — not just its content — as the unit of analysis, attending to temporal sequence, plot structure, and the social context in which a narrative is produced.
