Interpreting Visual Ethnography (eBook, ePUB)

Texts, Photos and the Construction of Sociological Meanings

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on the use of text in relation to a specific category of image - the photographic image - this book argues for a new appreciation of the relationship between texts and photographs in an age that seems to be dominated by visual images. With reference to a range of traditional and new media forms, and addressing such issues as gender, ethnicity, class, identity politics and biography, the author draws on the work of Barthes and Benjamin to introduce a new perspective for the use and understanding of the symbiotic relationships that can exist between photographs and texts in the production of sociological, cultural and historical narratives.
