有人批评在社区进行的研究未能将社区纳入其设计和实施中。与此同时，学术研究正越来越多地根据其对更广泛社会的好处来衡量。合作研究是对这些挑战的一种回应，它提供了一种方式，承认社区对研究的资源贡献，并强调与社区而不是社区进行研究。这篇文章指出，在研究过程中对文本的依赖是与社区提供有意义的共同成果研究的障碍。超越文本的工具正在跨学科出现，包括讲故事、表演、艺术和摄影。最近的研究强调了这些方法的赋权潜力，因为它有助于对参与者的生活经历进行更多的反思。这篇文章着眼于使用文本以外的方法来考虑其与社区联合制作的研究的潜力的研究的例子。它还询问，对于挑战不平等的权力关系，最关键的是具体技术途径和方法的应用，还是进行研究的基本精神。它认为，超越文本的方法需要在更广泛的价值观中应用，这些价值观重新概念化了与社区合作的研究者的角色。
There is a critique of research conducted in communities which fails to include communities in its design and undertaking. In parallel, academic research is increasingly being measured according to its benefit to the wider society. Co-productive research is a response to these challenges which offers a way of recognizing the resource contribution of communities to research and emphasizing the conduct of research with communities rather than on communities. This article identifies the reliance on text in the research process as a barrier to delivering meaningful co-productive research with communities. Beyond-text tools are emerging across academic disciplines and include story-telling, performance, art and photography. Recent research emphasizes the empowering potential of these methods by facilitating greater reflection on the lived experience of those involved. This article looks at examples of research which have employed beyond text methods to consider their potential to deliver co-produced research with communities. It also asks whether it is the application of specific technical approaches and methods, or the underlying ethos within which research is conducted that is most critical to challenging unequal power relationships. It argues that beyond-text methods need to be applied within a wider set of values which re-conceptualize the role of the researcher working with communities.
