Abstract

This chapter discusses how diffractive methodologies can enrich visual and video-based research methods. In human and social science research, diffractive methodologies aim to expand the understanding of objects of study by creating generative interferences and differences. Our aim in this chapter is to illustrate three ways of practising diffraction in visual and video research. These include (1) reading texts intra-actively; (2) reading the performing of an apparatus through another; (3) creating intra-actions amongst different forms of participation in interventionist research. We suggest that by multiplying our sociotechnical and relational ways of conducting video research and by reading one video-methodological engagement through the other, diffractive methodologies help us generate inventive provocations and produce new meanings.
