Description
Summary:ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the use of audiovisual methods in research with children. Four children participated in this research about the presence of digital technologies in their lives in an urban childhood context. The methodological procedures were conversation circles and the production of videos. Results show the participants’ interaction with the camera as an “other” that should be positioned, a transposition of meanings from audiovisual production to the research context, and the influence of the format of YouTubers’ videos on the production of a video in a group. In addition to functioning as recording instruments, cameras, and audiovisual products imply specific modes of interaction and positioning among children.
