Abstract

Ce livre se veut une exploration du polyptyque que déploient nos images dans leur diversité. On peut y entrer par n'importe quel chapitre, sauf le dernier qui s'offre comme une synthèse. Inévitablement pluridisciplinaire, cette anthropologie communicationnelle s'ouvre sur l'histoire de l'art, la sociologie, la sémiotique, la philosophie politique tout autant que les SIC. Elle s'intéresse à des images de peinture comme à des images "machinées" par la photographie, le cinéma ou l'informatique, à des images de la culture cultivée comme aux images plus triviales d'aujourd'hui, celles des jeux vidéo, de la bande-dessinée ou de la télévision. Cette anthropologie se veut communicationnelle, non pour dire que "ça communique", mais qu'il en va d'une aptitude des images à mettre en scène et/ou à conjurer la logique de l'incommunication et à gérer ce que l'on appelle ici le "paradoxe de la simultanéité". Loin d'être isolée, la question du numérique est alors réinscrite dans une anthropologie globale des images qui prête attention à leur matérialité comme aux jeux de leurs signes et qui en offre, au final, une approche comparatiste raisonnée

Abstract

The burgeoning field of 'visual social science' is rooted in the idea that valid scientific insight into culture and society can be acquired by observing, analyzing and theorizing its visual manifestations: visible behavior of people and material products of culture. Reframing Visual Social Science provides a well-balanced, critical-constructive and systematic overview of existing and emerging modes of visual social and cultural research. The book includes integrated models and conceptual frameworks, analytical approaches to scrutinizing existing imagery and multimodal phenomena, a systematic presentation of more active ways and formats of visual scholarly production and communication, and a number of case studies which exemplify the broad fields of application. Finally, visual social research is situated within a wider perspective by addressing the issue of ethics; by presenting a generic approach to producing, selecting and using visual representations; and through discussing the specific challenges and opportunities of a 'more visual' social science.

Abstract

"Images have traditionally played an important role in politics and policy making, propaganda and public communication. But with the increasing ubiquity of visual technologies that facilitate the production, distribution, and consumption of images in new and innovative ways, contemporary society is inundated with visual material - a visual culture has emerged. Although visual culture and the technologies which underpin it have been explored, a clear link to policy making is still lacking. This book links the emergence of visual culture in policy making, and explores how the technologies used to create and distribute it, influence the course, content and outcome of public policy. Dealing with the entire cycle of public policy making from agenda-setting to policy design, decision making to evaluation, it features a diverse range of international case studies from freedom of speech to water management. This innovative and challenging book will be essential reading for researchers, academics and advanced students in public administration, public policy and political science, and to anyone with an interest in visual culture"--

Abstract

This book re-theorizes the relationship between pedagogy and play. The authors suggest that pedagogical play is characterized by conceptual reciprocity (a pedagogical approach for supporting children’s academic learning through joint play) and agentic imagination (a concept that when present in play, affords the child’s motives and imagination a critical role in learning and development). These new concepts are brought to life using a cultural-historical approach to the analysis of play, supported in each chapter by visual narratives used as a research method for re-theorising play as a pedagogical activity. Whenever a cultural-historical approach is applied to understanding pedagogical play, the whole context of the playful event is always included. Further, the child’s cultural environment is taken into account in order to better understand their play. Children from different countries play differently for many reasons, which may include their resources, local cultural beliefs about play and specific pedagogical practices. The inclusion and acknowledgement of social, cultural and historical contexts gives credence and value to understanding play from both child and adult perspectives, which the authors believe is important for the child’s learning and development. As such, the relationships that children and adults have with human and non-human others, as well as any connections with artefacts and the material environment, are included in all considerations of pedagogical play.
