Résumé: | Originally presented as a plenary address at the First International Congress of Religious Studies - Religion: Art and Voices at Mackenzie University (9 November 2016), this article explores the opportunities presented by the prevalence of camera-equipped mobile phones and the resulting visual culture. It is an invitation to scholars of religion to use the tools of visual sociology. The article provides a working definition of visual sociology and situates that definition in its historical context. Three case studies are pre-sented as examples of how visual techniques are being used to research and engage religious organizations and individuals: 1. photo elicitation, 2. photovoice, and 3. a mobile app called SpeakingPhoto. The article clo-ses with a consideration of the benefits of studying religion visually. |
