Abstract:

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.
