本文将主题拼贴作为一种方法创新，将参与式摄影作为一种研究框架。参与式摄影被用来了解印度安得拉邦妇女自助团体成员完全或部分采用零预算自然农业（ZBNF）背后的主观“脱稿”动机。将主题拼贴添加到现有的参与式摄影方法中，作为一种机制，可以更好地支持新的Freirean“生成主题”的对话生成，以供小组调查。此外，主题拼贴的使用邀请将“叛徒”或非主题图像整合到参与者群体分析中。ZBNF是一种农业实践，已成为安得拉邦推广的优先事项。它强调使用明确的无化学物质投入和再生农业技术作为社会生态恢复力的整体方法。作为跨学科研究项目的一部分，这种参与式摄影设计在安得拉邦三个地理上不同的农业生态区进行了土壤科学实验。我们展示了如何将参与式摄影与主题拼贴画的新颖添加整合到跨学科研究中，作为一种方法来发现采用农业实践和参与农业运动（如零预算自然农业）的潜在动机。
This paper presents the use of thematic collages as a methodological innovation to participatory photography as a research framework. Participatory photography was used to understand the subjective “off-script” motivations behind the full or partial adoption of Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) by members of women’s self-help groups in Andhra Pradesh, India. The addition of thematic collages to existing participatory photography methods was developed as a mechanism to better support the dialogic generation of new Freirean “generative themes” for investigation by a group. Further, the use of thematic collages invites the integration of “renegade” or non-thematic images into participant group analysis. ZBNF is an agricultural practice that has become an extension priority in Andhra Pradesh. It emphasizes the use of defined chemical-free inputs and regenerative farming techniques as a holistic approach toward socio-ecological resilience. As part of an interdisciplinary research project, this participatory photography design was piloted parallel to a soil science experiment in three geographically distinct agroecological zones in Andhra Pradesh. We show how participatory photography, with the novel addition of thematic collages, can be integrated into interdisciplinary research as a method to discover the underlying motivations to adopt agricultural practices and participate in agricultural movements like Zero Budget Natural Farming.
