oa Methodische aspecten van video-observatie

In various ways, the five research cases discussed in this volume show some characteristics of video observation as method: its intimate view on practices, the subtlety it allows in the analysis, and the variety in methodological elaboration and application. It brings us to discuss three methodological issues in the application of video observation: its presumed ‘natural’ character, the tensions between description, interpretation and intervention, and the extent to which ethical considerations are taken into account.
