- Visual Communication, written between 2017 and 2019, brings together a large body of research regarding the role of media images in shaping identities, steering politics, and promoting commodities. The book’s innovative structure encompasses 18 original case studies, drawing upon multiple methods (e.g. interviews, surveys, digital methods, semiotic analysis) to provide in-depth critical insights into the increasingly visual nature of mediated communication. The diversity of research materials (YouTube videos, film trailers, Twitter and Instagram images, logos, websites, stock photographs) provide the empirical substance for theoretically rigorous and multi-layered interrogation of the social and cultural implications of mediated images.
