This volume describes the development and application of the Mmogo-method as a projective visual data-gathering method, applied in different contexts and with different groups of people. “Mmogo” means togetherness in Setswana, one of the 11 official languages of South Africa. The
Mmogo-method provides a deep understanding of personal, relational and group experiences and is particularly useful in cross-cultural contexts and across age groups. By allowing visual expressions of the self as a complex, dynamic social system it overcomes some of the limitations of traditional data collection methods, such as questionnaires or
interviews. The book draws together contributions by leading social scientists to show how this flexible, visual data-collection method can be used independently or jointly with other data-gathering techniques.
