Abstract
Our increasingly globalized societies require an equilibrium between the powerful trans- formation released by digital technology and the need to configure societies that prioritize equality, justice, ecological sustainability and resilience when faced with systemic crises such as the one we are currently experiencing. Although digital technology has enabled communication and participation between previously isolated and marginalized sectors of society, it has also led to widening gaps in social, cultural and financial capital. Given this reality, in this paper we focus on the contributions a Participatory Action Research methodology such as PhotoVoice (C. Wang y Burris, 1994, 1997) — when applied to a digital context we call Digital PhotoVoice (Fernández-Pacheco, Rasskin-Gutman, Marques, y Yoshihama, en prensa)— can make, in the context of the current crisis, to stimulate the processes involved in Community Development and the construction of collective identity, and to strengthen the processes of resilience. Our aim is to find spaces for equilibrium where the advances and tools of the digital society enable environments for transformation and reflection on sustainability and social justice. In this article we present the theoretical, philosophical and epistemological orientations of PhotoVoice before discussing several practical cases in which this methodology is used. Drawing on our own experience and those of other authors, we examine the possibilities and challenges presented by PhotoVoice in the digital age and its role in social transformation.
