This collection of original articles deals with two intertwined
general questions: what is the visual sphere, and what are the
means by which we can study it sociologically? These questions
serve as the logic for dividing the book into two sections, the
first ("Visualizing the Social, Sociologizing the Visual") focuses
on the meanings of the visual sphere, and the second ("New
Methodologies for Sociological Investigations of the Visual")
explores various sociological research methods to getting a better
understanding of the visual sphere. We approach the visual sphere
sociologically because we regard it as one of the layers of the
social world. It is where humans produce, use, and engage with the
visual in their creation and interpretation of meanings. Under the
two large inquiries into the "what" and the "how" of the sociology
of the visual sphere, a subset of more focused questions is being
posed: what social processes and hierarchies make up the visual
sphere? How various domains of visual politics and visuality are
being related (or being presented as such)? What are the relations
between sites and sights in the visual research? What techniques
help visual researcher to increase sensorial awareness of the
research site? How do imaginaries of competing political agents
interact in different global contexts and create unique,
locally-specific visual spheres? What constitutes competing
interpretations of visual signs? The dwelling on these questions
brings here eleven scholars from eight countries to share their
research experience from variety of contexts and sites, utilizing a
range of sociological theories, from semiotics to
post-structuralism.
