Sažetak
Contemporary urban context is a mixture of different spaces, atmospheres and temporalities as well as urban actors that (re)produce complex urban sceneries. When teaching about the city, visual sociology is a powerful tool that can be used to show different urban layers to students. It can empower them to search for different social phenomena and hidden sides of the city in their everyday life. This paper will focus on: a. educational use of primary and secondary visual data material on urban spaces in order to connect it with sociological concepts and theories (examples), b. teacher’s competences for instructing students to conduct project assignments related to urban spaces while using different research methods, and possible shortcomings of this teaching method, meaning both methodological and ethical issues. First objective of this paper will be achieved in presenting different cases of educational use of visual material on urban spaces, namely use of visual in research regarding the creation of sacred (public) space (ethnography of activities of the ’40 days for life’ initiative), visual research of urban transformations and identity markers through time, and their impact on local community. Second objective is focused on teacher’s competences for complex methodological, ethical and educational issues such as teacher serving as a partial principal investigator on research using different methodologies, ethical issues such as ethics approval for conducting small scale research/project assignments, and considering possible ethical issues emerging while on field (like violation of privacy of persons in urban spaces). Regardless of all possible problems, visual sociology has a specific kind of advantage - it is very attractive to students, and when applied to urban space it is also very helpful for interdisciplinary research cooperation and the exchange of (sociological) knowledge with different actors.
