The documentary interpretation of images and videos represents a proven methodological approach to still and moving images. It particularly aims to do justice to the image in its specific nature, that is, as an expression of language-independent and bodily forms of expression. This can be conveyed in an easily understandable and comprehensible manner through selected research examples for students and experts. The book is aimed at students and experts in the field of qualitative methods in social and communication sciences. It serves both as a practical foundation and guide for qualitative interpretation of images, videos, and films, as well as for teaching qualitative methods.
