This edited volume offers a theoretically driven, empirically grounded survey of the role visual communication plays in political culture, enabling a better understanding of the significance and impact visuals can have as tools of political communication. The advent of new media technologies have created new ways of producing, disseminating and consuming visual communication, the book hence explores the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of visual political communication in the digital age, and how visual communication is employed in a number of key settings. The book is intended as a specialist reading and teaching resource for courses on media, politics, citizenship, activism, social movements, public policy, and communication.
Arvustused
This collection is a welcome intervention that, in the editors words, places visuals at the epicenter of the relationship between political communicators and audiences. The various chapters draw our attention to a number of important developments, in particular, the rise of social media, and go some way to addressing what remains an under researched area in political communication, providing a theoretical framework and methodological guidelines to aid future studies. I would recommend this collection to all those interested in understanding and analyzing political visuals in contemporary democracies. (James Stanyer, The International Journal of Press-Politics.
