本文描述了一个两阶段的反身性伦理过程时，选择数码相机的photovoice方法在研究中与生活在低收入环境中的男性开始。虽然这种参与式方法旨在消除研究者与研究者之间的权力不对称，但需要讨论的是，务实的技术选择如何可能在无意中强调甚至加强参与者被剥夺权力和受到约束的经历。批判性地参与决策的护理方法的伦理，我们解开什么表面上似乎是一个简单的方法问题，并展示如何务实的决定可能混淆研究人员的努力，在研究中的民主化。我们反思这些努力如何可能无意中模糊了背景过程，塑造参与者从事研究的潜力。我们的反思表明，有必要认真对待整个研究过程中的所有决策，作为一个更广泛的方法和道德政治的组成部分。
This article describes a two-phased reflexive ethical process initiated when choosing digital cameras for the photovoice method in research with men living in low-income contexts. While this participatory method aims to flatten power asymmetries in researcher–researched relationships, debate is needed about how pragmatic technology choices may inadvertently underscore or even reinforce participants’ situated experiences of disempowerment and constraint. Critically engaging with an ethics of care approach to decision-making, we unpick what superficially appears to be a straightforward problem of method and demonstrate how pragmatic decisions may confound researchers’ efforts towards democratisation in research. We reflect on how such efforts may inadvertently obscure contextual processes shaping the potential for participants to engage in research. Our reflections demonstrate the need to take seriously all decision-making throughout the research process as integral to a wider politics of method and ethics.
