Summary:

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. If, indeed, 'Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others,' as Jonathan Swift has so famously phrased it, then visual literacy is the art of translating the seen - through image, word and gesture - so that the invisible can be made visible to others. In other words, visual literacy specifies a process of articulation that employs both sight and insight in the service of interpreting the language of the image, reading the narrative of the graphic, and deciphering the codes and modes of the visual. This volume represents an attempt to convey some of the many ideas surrounding visual literacy and advance the interdisciplinary field of visual literacy studies toward new areas of research and inquiry.
