Grounded in socio-visual thinking, this book addresses the emerging
shift in the way social scientists move from a sociology of or
through images toward a sociology with images. In doing
so, this volume illustrates how the sky and atmosphere remain a
surprisingly underexplored domain within visual sociology beyond
the framework of drone-related research. With contributions from
astronauts, artists, architects, sociologists, urbanists, visual
culture theorists, geographers, anthropologists and more,
this volume asserts how vertical and atmospherically framed
socio-visual analysis is beginning to shape and inform how we see
and experience urban spaces, travel, leisure, politics, and
environmental challenges through various prisms, including artistic
practices, methodological processes, and user-generated content.
This book provides a user-friendly guide to the expanding scope of
visual sociology, through a discussion of a broad range of visual
material, and reflections on how such material can be studied
sociologically. The chapters draw on specific case-study examples
that examine the complexity of the hyper-visual social world we
live in, exploring three domains of the 'relational image': the
urban, social media, and the aerial. Zuev and Bratchford tackle
issues such as visual politics and surveillance, practices of
visual production and visibility, analysing the changing nature of
the visual. They review a range of methods which can be used by
researchers in the social sciences, utilising new media and their
visual interfaces, while also assessing the changing nature of
visuality. This concise overview will be of use to students and
researchers aiming to adopt visual methods and theories in their
own subject areas such as sociology, visual culture and related
courses in photography, new-media and visual studies.
