It explores how meaning is communicated by the wide variety of texts that inhabit our increasingly visual world. But, rather than simply providing set meanings to individual images, \u003ci\u003eVisual Culture\u003c\/i\u003e teaches readers how to interpret visual texts with their own eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the first part of the book takes readers through differing theoretical approaches to visual analysis, the second part shifts to a medium-based analysis, connected by an underlying theme about the complex relationship between visual culture and reality. Howells and Negreiros draw together seemingly diverse methodologies, while ultimately arguing for a polysemic approach to visual analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe third edition of this popular book contains over fifty illustrations, for the first time in colour.
