Images of Recovery: A Photo-Elicitation Study on the Hospital Ward
Alan Radley
Diane Taylor
The authors attempted to discover the part the physical setting of the ward plays in patients’ recovery by asking patients to take photographs of their ward, its spaces and objects, and then interviewing them about these images in hospital and subsequently in their homes. Photography allowed the patients to identify and capture aspects of the setting that they found salient and provided the photo-elicitation material for the interviews. Based on these data, the authors present (a) a critical discussion of the use of photography as method and its implications for qualitative analysis, (b) an overview of the kinds of image taken with respect to the ward and the course of patients’ recovery, and (c) a theoretical analysis, employing Walter Benjamin’s use of the concept of mimesis, that understands recovery as a bodily act in response to the shock to the senses that hospitalization and surgery produce.
