VISUAL STUDIES - CALL FOR PAPERS
Visual Studies is a peer-reviewed international journal that
publishes visually-oriented articles across a range of disciplines.
The journal represents a long-standing commitment to empirical visual
research, studies of visual and material culture, the development of
visual research methods, and the exploration of visual means of
communication about social and cultural worlds. The
multidisciplinary character of the journal is reflected in its
attention to visually-based research in sociology, anthropology,
cultural and media studies, documentary film and photography,
information technology, education, communication studies as well as
other fields concerned with image-based study.
The journal invites contributions across a broad range, including but
not limited to the following:
· studies of visual and material culture
· photography and documentary studies
· visual ethnography
· visual essays
· image-based research in sociology and anthropology
· applied visual research
· photo-elicitation studies
· studies of visual media and communication
· visual studies pedagogy
It is expected that most articles will be accompanied by appropriate
visual material, and the journal encourages visually-led submissions.
