Description: "The Handbook of Visual Analysis, which demonstrates the importance of visual data within the social sciences, offers an essential guide to those working in a range of disciplines including: media and communication studies, sociology, anthropology, education, psychoanalysis, and health studies." "It offers a wide range of methods for visual analysis - content analysis, historical analysis, structuralist analysis, iconography, psychoanalysis, social semiotic analysis, film analysis and ethnomethodology - and shows how each method can be applied for the purposes of specific research projects; exemplifies each approach through detailed analyses of a variety of data, including newspaper images, family photos, drawings, art works and cartoons; and includes examples from the authors' own research and professional practice."--Jacket.
