Aims & Scope

 

From street posters to graffiti and memes, visuals play a significant role in the communication of political ideas. While some are strategically crafted, others are much more serendipitous reflecting the rise of a new culture of visual political communication via social networks. This peer-reviewed journal offers a space for studies that explore the aesthetics and design, persuasive content and intended and empirical impacts of visuals within the context of political communication. We invite papers that offer contributions to visual political communication theory and broaden understanding of how visuals are used by a range of political actors and citizens within political contexts, or a combination of approaches that explore both theory and practice. The journal seeks to provide significant insights into the role of visuals within the political communication environment across the world.
