4.9/5 (26128 ratings)

Description:News coverage of EU negotiations, children's war memories or TV series glamourising political processes - images pervade both private and public discourse, and visual communication plays a key role in our social negotiation of values. Conceptualising images as images in use, this volume considers the agencies behind visual communication and its impact on society. Images in Use engages critically with traditional approaches to visual analysis, offers suggestions for alternative, socially situated analyses of images and demonstrates the explanatory force of thinking through images in use in a series of case studies. The conceptual contributions consider broader issues of critical theory, representation, as well as the mediatisation of politics. The case studies offer a survey of current visual communication including news coverage, political cartoons, political rhetoric, memory culture, celebrity humanitarianism, reality TV, as well as the narratives of blockbuster cinema and comics. This volume proposes a new approach to visual communication, situating images in their social contexts and identifying the real, rhetorical and political impact of their use.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
