Perspectives and Challenges of Working with Images and New Media

Abstract Submissions Closed

WG03 Visual Sociology (host committee)
RC37 Sociology of Arts

Language: English

Recent years have seen a growth of new social phenomena using images and the gradual incorporation of these objects (and some old ones) as legitimate research topics for sociological thought.

Do these new sociological objects and themes need new methodological approaches?

This session encourages papers that address these new sociological objects and themes to discuss how to deal with them on methodological, theoretical and conceptual terms.
