Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This new edition of Gillian Rose's bestselling Visual Methodologies text has been comprehensively revised and updated. This Second Edition provides a critical introduction to the study and interpretation of visual culture. An introductory chapter contextualizes the theoretical approach to working with visual materials. Subsequent chapters each examine a visual method in detail and assess the method's strengths and weaknesses. The methods discussed in the new edition are: compositional interpretation, content analysis, semiology, psychoanalysis, discourse analysis, audience studies (new), an anthropological approach to understanding visual materials (new), and on making images as part of social science research (new).

Includes bibliographical references (p. [263]-278) and index.
