Picture Stories   Excellent site using digital video and multimedia as a form of sociology, for documentary storytelling and as an expressive medium. By Dona Schwartz, University of Minnesota.
Desire Collages   From a project by Russell Belk, Güliz Ger, and Søren Askegaard published in 2003. Their fascinating study uses collages, along with other 'projective exercises', to explore the concept of consumer desire. "The projective measures sought to evoke fantasies, dreams, and visual imagination, in order to bypass the reluctance, defense mechanisms, rationalisations and social desirability that seemed to block the direct verbal accounts of some of those studied."
