PROJECT FOCUS AND PLANNING

My research is guided by the work of Gillian Rose. In her book, Visual Methodologies, and the companion website, Professor Rose explains three broad methods of research for study and analysis of visual culture. These broad categories can be said to be, the study of the image (in all its forms including still, moving and three-dimensional), the study of an audience or audiences, and discourse analysis. (Rose, 2016) Study of the image is broken down into three further sites for exploration, the production of an image, the image itself, and where and how meaning is understood.
