Soziale Semiotik
- Representational Function: What’s in the image? What does it represent?
- Interactional Function: How does it reach us? Direct eye contact? Looking from above?
- Compositional Function: Perspective, color selection, vectors, focal point? How is the image structred?
Visual Framing
What story the images tell? How they direct the viewer?
- Values, identities, relationships that are highlighted in the visual
- Is there a distinction between “us” and “other”?
- Does the visual depict conflict, peace, or hope?
Inszenierungsmuster
Consistent, recurring themes and clichés in self-representation.
- “Am Rednerpult” (güç ve otorite)
- “Mit Kindern/Familie” (empati, yumuşaklık)
- “Sportlich unterwegs” (enerjik, genç, sağlıklı)
- “Bad in der Menge” (halkın içinden, popüler) Personal branding of the politician.
Authentizitätsrhetorik
- Home scenes without makeup (e.g. AOC’s stories)
- Family time
- Humor, emotions, showing personal vulnerabilities
- Spontaneous, not formal images (e.g. drinking coffee or feeding her child)
Bildlinguistik
A picture is a tool that not only “shows” but also communicates.
