Tóm tắt	Participatory Semiotic Analysis (PSA) is a qualitative method that invites community members or research participants to actively co-analyze the signs, symbols, images, and texts that shape their social world. Combining the interpretive rigour of semiotic theory with the democratic ethos of participatory action research, PSA treats participants not as passive informants but as co-analysts who bring insider knowledge to the decoding of culturally embedded meanings.	Participatory Visual Analysis (PVA) is a qualitative research approach in which community members or research participants actively produce and interpret visual materials — photographs, drawings, videos, or maps — as a means of documenting their own experiences, surfacing knowledge, and informing action. Rather than the researcher imposing an analytical gaze on pre-existing images, participants are co-investigators who create visual data and participate in its interpretation, making the method both epistemologically democratic and particularly powerful for accessing marginalized or hard-to-articulate perspectives.
