At a time when advanced technological tools such AI-generated images and sounds are revolutionising our way of creating and consuming information, it becomes all the more crucial for social science researchers to address issues related to the use and practices surrounding the production of images and sounds in scientific approaches. If these technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to capture, analyse, and disseminate data, they also pose significant ethical and methodological challenges. Considering this context, critically engaging with and questioning audiovisual tools and their associated methodologies is urgently necessary. In a field that is constantly evolving, this 8^th edition of the Social Sciences Winter School in Pondicherry aims to encourage critical reflection on these issues and to promote in social sciences research the integration of these innovative methodologies, which will undoubtedly play an increasingly important role in advancing our understanding of complex social realities.
