本文响应了流动学者对方法论创新和反身性的呼吁，通过（a）详细介绍了我们在研究巴基斯坦北部山区一个小社区新建道路的日常影响时如何使用自摄影，以及（b）从伦理和认识论的角度评估自摄影作为该环境下流动研究的视觉/叙事方法的属性。我们展示了自动摄影的视觉反客观主义认识论和参与者驱动的特征，紧凑型相机的便携性和简单的用户界面，以及该方法产生的视觉和叙事数据不可分割的混合，结合起来减少了我们研究中的认知不公正，同时也产生了关于我们的研究对象与道路相关的运动、表现和具体实践的富有成效的见解。这些观点是参考有关视觉方法、移动方法和底层民族志的文献以及研究参与者产生的视觉/叙事表征而制定的。文章最后举例说明了研究对象如何利用道路及其相关的流动性作为构建集体身份的话语资源：根据现代性和传统定位其社区，将社区与其邻居区分开来，并表达对快速社会变革后果的担忧。
This article responds to calls from mobilities scholars for methodological innovation and reflexivity by (a) detailing our use of autophotography in a study of the everyday implications of a newly-constructed road for a small community in mountainous northern Pakistan, and (b) assessing autophotography’s attributes as a visual/narrative method for mobilities research in that setting, on ethical and epistemological grounds. We demonstrate that autophotography’s anti-objectivist epistemology of vision and participant-driven character, the portability and easy user-interface of compact cameras, and the inseparable mix of visual and narrative data the method produces, combined to attenuate epistemic injustice in our research, while also generating productive insights regarding the movements, representations and embodied practices our research subjects associate with the road. These points are developed with reference to literature on visual methods, mobile methods and subaltern autoethnography, as well as to the visual/narrative representations produced by study participants. The article concludes by exemplifying how research subjects used the road and its associated mobilities as discursive resources for the constitution of collective identity: to position their community in relation to modernity and tradition, to distinguish the community from its neighbours, and to articulate worries about the consequences of rapid social change.
