ABSTRACT
This chapter explores new theoretical and methodical perspectives in educational ethnographic research intended to open up spaces for what is mainly unseen and unspoken, veiled or silenced. To do so, we aim to provide new perspectives in educational ethnographic research by combining educational research presumptions with approaches from the field of cultural and arts research, and in particular from visual arts studies (Margolis, 2014; Pollard, 1986) and visual culture (Mirzoeff, 1999; Mitchell, 1996). We argue that the unseen and the unspoken can only appear if we change perspectives and modes of perception by using different tools, approaches and forms of data. Thus, we call for new ways of composing the data, new ways of drawing results and, ultimately, new ways of presenting them.
