* critically investigate how the social world is constructed, represented and contested in visual discourse

* examine the use of the visual in a range of sociological, anthropological, historical and scientific research areas

* explore the structures and histories of the languages and technologies of visual communication, and their relation to those of other modes of communication

* describe and contextualize (socially, culturally and historically) the use of these visual languages and technologies in visual and multimodal genres, texts and communicative events

their uses Journal issues will include academic papers, visual essays, short reflective papers by practitioners on aspects of their work, reviews - including books, magazines, films, CD-ROMs, websites, exhibitions and artefacts - covering
