Marginal Frames: Visual Ethnography of Excluded Communities in Kashmir
摘要
This chapter examines how visual ethnography helps study marginalized groups in Kashmir whose voices are often overshadowed by dominant narratives. Using participatory image-making and storytelling, it highlights communities such as nomadic herders, fish-dwelling groups, caste and linguistic minorities. Visual narratives document resilience, identity, and socio-economic struggle while challenging politics of visibility. The chapter argues for visual methods as tools of co-creation that redefine the ethics and politics of ethnography in contexts of exclusion.
