摘要	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.	Visual analysis is a qualitative research approach that systematically examines visual materials — such as photographs, films, artworks, advertisements, and diagrams — to understand how meaning is produced, communicated, and interpreted. Drawing on traditions from art history, semiotics, and social science, it treats visual objects as data that carry social, cultural, and ideological significance. Multiple frameworks exist, from formal compositional analysis to discourse-based and audience-reception approaches.
