Visual Methodologies

The new edition of Gillian Rose's bestselling critical introduction to the study and analysis of visual culture has been fully revised and updated. Each chapter retains its rigorous examination and demonstration of an individual methodology, while continuing to be clear in structure and lucid in style. Reflecting changes in the way society consumes and creates its visual content, new features include:

A Companion Website featuring worked examples and further resources for understanding visual research methods

Discussion of recent developments in visual culture theory

Pedagogical enhancements including full colour images, extended further reading, and updated case studies

Expanded coverage of new media, and more on the mass media

An expanded focus on how each method can be used in relation to a range of different visual materials

An additional chapter on the ethics of using visual materials in research projects.

A now classic text, the book appeals to undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers and academics in all subjects looking to understand and clearly grasp the complex debates and ideas in visual analysis and interpretation.
