VISUAL CULTURE: IMAGE IMAGINATION IDEOLOGY
March 10-12, 2005, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas


Keynote Speaker:
Scott McCloud, author of _Understanding Comics_


This conference will examine the visual codes of cultural works as
well as the relationship between these works and their conditions
of production and reception. How do images function within
political, social, and economic forces? What is the cultural work
that images do? How do we theorize visual culture?



Possible topics:
Graphic Novels; Picture Books, Billboards;
Graffitti, Advertisements; Murals; Comix; Tattoos; Logos; Cartoons,
Illuminated Manuscripts; Informational Sign Icons; Diagrams;
Maps, Emoticons; Emblems, Heraldry; Cover Art, Image Theory,
Photography
