| book description |

This bookÂ providesÂ aÂ 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 â€˜relational imageâ€™: 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.Â This concise overview will be of use to students and researchers aiming to adopt visual methods and theories in their own subject areas such asÂ sociology, visual culture and related courses in photography, new-media and visual studies.Â Â Â
