1
Rhetorical Images
  • Visual Methodologies for Teaching Race and
    Ethnicity

2
Barthes and the rhetoric of the image
3
Using Images
  • Barthes concept of 'rhetoric of the image'
  • Images as complex conventional codes
  • Rhetoric is often contrasted with rationality and
    allied with radical relativism or nihilism
  • but... All discourse is unavoidably rhetorical
  • This presentation illustrates the power of images
    to condition our thinking

Drinking
The Northern Territory's alcohol consumption is
one of the highest in the world, and certainly
the highest in Australia. In 2001 the alcohol
consumption rate was estimated at 1120 standard
drinks per person per year.

Law Order
SHANE STONE, FORMER CHIEF MINISTER People who

The Circuit of Culture
  • Production campaigns, intentions
  • Regulation hegemony and social control
  • Consumption desire economy - distinction
  • Identity constant negotiation
  • Representation political, basis for social
    meanings, regimes of thought, discourses eg
    tourism, law and order, anthropological etc..

36
Critical Visual Methods
  • myth of objectivity
  • Ethical concerns exploitation or collaboration?
  • Obtrusiveness of video recording
  • Immediacy and complexity of the material gathered
  • 'the study and use of visual images is only of
    use within broader sociological research
    enterprises, rather than as ends in themselves.
    (Bank, M 2001 178)

37
Consider the Image
  • no one-way visual method or perspective
  • we dont see, we perceive
  • the visual, as objects and images, exists
    materially in the world but gain meaning from
    humans.
  • all images are regarded as polysemic
  • images can be researcher found (generated by
    others) or researcher generated (created by the
    researcher).
  • Photographs or film cannot be equated with truth
    or reality

38
Conclusions
  • How to address issues in a relevant way?
  • Allows focus on how social meanings are formed
    and circulate
  • Visual material drawn from a variety of sources
    is immediate and interactive
  • Needs backing up with reading
  • Less can be more small interactive nuggets
    which when unpacked can really stimulate
    discussion and understanding
  • Potential for use in virtual learning environments
