Pierre Naville : Audio-visual instrumentation and sociological research.
The author notes that classical sociological investigations, at least in France, employ an instrumentation linked to the use of language, be it spoken or written words or mathematics. To set a problem, to set up an experiment, to explain, are processes going from words and figures to words and figures. Why, except for ethnologists and geographs, is the visual and sound image absent from the instrumentation ? The fixed or moving image may be used as illustration, or educationally or as an object of study. Its use as a research instrument necessitates to define its role as a specific sign and symbol, that is as a data creating instrument. This role can be passive or active. The technical evolution tending to extend the optical and sound world to the detriment of the « typographic » world, incites sociologists to have at their diposal a set of tools appropriate to an optical and sound instrumentation in the course of the research.
