Photovoice is a widely used approach for community participation in health promotion and health promotion research. However, its popularity has a flip-side. Scholars raise concerns that photovoice drifts away from its emancipatory roots, neglecting photovoice's aim to develop critical consciousness together with communities. Our four-year photovoice project aimed to unravel how the health of (un)paid care workers was shaped at the intersection of gender, class and race. This article springs from first, second and third-person inquiry within our research team of (un)paid care workers, academic researchers and a photographer. We observed that critical consciousness emerged from an iterative process between silence, voice and vocabulary. We learned that photovoice scholars need to be sensitive to silence in photovoice projects, as silence can be the starting point for finding voice, but also a result of silencing acts. Social movements and critical theories, such as intersectionality, provide a vocabulary for participants to voice their critical perspectives to change agents and to support collective action. We discuss our experiences using Frickers' concept of 'epistemic justice', arguing that critical consciousness not only requires that communities are acknowledged as reliable knowers, but that they need access to interpretative tropes to voice their personal experiences as structural.
摄影叙事是一种广泛应用于社区参与健康促进及健康促进研究的方法。然而，其流行也有另一面。学者们担心摄影叙事背离了其解放性根源，忽视了与社区共同培养批判性意识的目标。我们为期四年的摄影叙事项目旨在揭示（无）薪护理工作者的健康状况是如何在性别、阶级和种族的交叉点上形成的。本文源于我们研究团队中（无）薪护理工作者、学术研究人员和一名摄影师的第一人称、第二人称和第三人称探究。我们观察到，批判性意识产生于沉默、发声和词汇之间的迭代过程。我们了解到，摄影叙事学者需要对摄影叙事项目中的沉默保持敏感，因为沉默既可能是找到发声的起点，也可能是沉默行为的结果。社会运动和批判性理论，如交叉性理论，为参与者提供了一种词汇，以便他们向变革推动者表达自己的批判性观点，并支持集体行动。我们运用弗里克尔的“认知正义”概念讨论了我们的经验，认为批判性意识不仅要求社区被认可为可靠的认知者，还要求他们能够接触到解释性比喻，以便将个人经历表述为结构性的。
