ABSTRACT
This chapter explores examples from two empirical studies of young women’s embodied experiences in everyday life. As opposed to generating talk about embodied experience through a traditional qualitative interview, the studies explored here used photographs as a way to tap into and ground accounts in specific and concrete experiences. As such, participants’ explorations of their own pre-existing photographs and photographs produced in relation to the topic of research aided the focus on particular experiences, providing access to rich detail in relation to living through specific embodied events.
