This short introduction to Part I, “Visibility/Visuality: A Framework for Analysis,” explains why visuals are important for international politics. It summarizes how Chapters 1–3, on visibility, visuality, and dynamic dyads, unpack arguments raised in the introduction. While it is popular to use the term “visuality” to discuss how images are more than objective reflections of reality, Part I argues that we need to differentiate between “meaning” and “doing.” It thus presents both a literature review of visual culture studies and visual IR research and an original analytical framework for understanding visual international politics. |
