THE IMAGE
Modern society is saturated with persuasive imagery.
As it becomes increasingly challenging to know what is real, critical thinking is more crucial than ever. What we are shown carries messages and assumptions that build belief systems.
Image Analysis is a framework for seeing the messages around us as they are, and choosing for ourselves what we think.
Academically, I choose German imagery as my focus of analysis. However, the framework can be applied anywhere.
Black people and those who have been blackened around the world can benefit from the application of this theory, which helps us to better understand and address how racism manifests and circulates.
This work is for people subject to racism, as well as those who perpetuate it and are ready to be more self-aware.
Image Analysis
My work is written at an advanced undergraduate level, so that it will be as accessible as possible while still accurately conveying the message.
