Synopsis
What do we mean by ‘ual evidence’? How should we interpret ual texts, and what can they tell us? Why is ‘ual literacy’ so important and what benefits does it offer? ual evidence encompasses a diverse range of media, from painting, cartoons and photography, to film, teleion and documentary. The central argument of this book is that ual evidence is a key to understanding both history and the present day and should not be relegated to a supporting role as merely illustrating the written word.
The book shows students, scholars and researchers how to read the ual media to elicit meaning. As primary sources, ual texts can be studied not only for what is directly depicted in the painting or film but also for what it tells us about the people, tures and societies that made them.
Each chapter features fascinating case studies and examples which situate theory in real life. A major appeal of the book is the wealth of illustrations and photographs of ual texts which are included throughout. The authors make detailed reference to these examples to illustrate the theory surrounding ual evidence. An intriguing case study of an unknown girl’s photo album is just one of many examples offered, showing how we can yze and learn from the ual text.
This comprehensive and insightful edited collection brings together international media and tural theorists, historians and art historians to demonstrate the value of ual evidence not only to media and tural studies, but also to history, the general humanities and the social sciences.
