This paper, based on a visual study of six urban schools in South Africa, primarily concerns relations between the researcher and those being researched. It opens with an argument for learner participation in research, then describes the study and justifies the methods used. Some methodological aspects are considered, for having primary and secondary school learners in a culturally and linguistically complex context take photographs of their school environment. These are accompanied by a discussion of how they were addressed in the study, sometimes with only partial success.

I begin with a semiotic view on the evolution of the significatieon process, in order to initiate a discussion about the notion of iconicity as related to the notion of likeness. I then compare the paradigm of iconic representation to the paradigm of diagrammatic representation in the context of aesthetic preferences to analyze the structure of diagrammatic model as related to perception and the modes of learning. I refer to the results of the research on children's drawings from other cultures to support the discussion about the relationship between exposure, familiarity with a given representational convention, and the aesthetic expectations. Since familiarity with visual conventions plays a vital role in shifting boundaries of visual literacy, I argue that information design professionals are responsible for shifting the boundaries of visual literacy.

In this article I examine the classification and preservation systems applied to the Farm Security Administration‐Office of War Information Photograph Collection over the last sixty years, and how these different, and to some extent competing, systems have impacted on access to the photographs and the attribution of meaning to them. I discuss the way in which these systems are part of the struggle over the construction of a visual memory of the years 1935–1943.

V research is thriving. Not only do we have new international journals but also an explosion of books on visual culture and visual methods. These are signs that visual studies is gaining recognition and esteem within the wider research community. With so much growth over the past twenty years it is unsurprising that image-based studies, in terms of empirical methodology and theory generation, have moved outside of their original bases of sociology and anthropology. This cross-disciplinary shift has broadened the scope and nature of visual research. In addition, there is an increase in critical debate which, unfortunately, is not always informed or balanced. Critical reflection on differing visual modes and practices is fine since it has the capacity to generate enriching ideas and contribute to the robustness of our findings. However, to denigrate the practice of others and elevate one's own visual perspective, for whatever reason, is dangerous since it cultivates a culture of supremacy. Besides, visual research is in its infancy and we need to explore possibilities, investigate creative exchanges, take risks and generally ask of each other's approaches "How can I use this to inform my own work?"

R. Chalfen, Mai Murui
The authors examine the popularity of a new form of photographic representation in Japan, namely Print Club, or Purikura. Print Club machines initially delivered a page of 16 postage‐stamp‐sized photographs of their patrons, but many other formats have become common. This paper describes the 1995 emergence and development of the technology, image content, decorative frames, picture uses and functions and the incorporation of Print Club into a broad range of personal, social and even business and artistic life in Japan. The authors review connections to patterns of popular culture, consumerism, gender bias, adolescent youth culture, and interpersonal communication alongside issues of individual identity and group membership. Some claim Print Club as a fad, but six years later, all indicators point to a lasting contribution to Japanese visual culture.

The manifestation of gender in the Japanese puppet theatre is also a study of men who depict male and female roles. The visual sociologist must take into consideration the intermeshing and communication of voice (tayu), with music (shamisen player) and puppeteers on stage in the dramaturgy of roles and their enactment. The researcher explores aspects of front and backstage as we learn about male and female role making and taking. It could be argued that women are fictionalized, idealized and subject to stylization, while men are allowed to be more free in their depiction of emotional variation. At the same time there is a long tradition of gender interpretation which contains sexual ambiguities and varied meaning levels. This research addresses the masked and unmasked aspects of the Bunraku theatre and the ways that maleness and femaleness can be visually and verbally conceived.

The article focuses on a syndicated newspaper photograph which was used in 1996 to illustrate an espionage story involving British and Russian diplomats. The photograph appeared on the front pages of two British newspapers. Following an exploration of the formal aspects of the photograph, the paper explores the different editorial agendas of the two newspapers. This leads to a questioning of the documentary value of the image as well as its broader historical, political and literary setting. It not only shows how the photograph alludes to the spy thriller, but the structure of article itself draws upon and aims to mimic this literary genre.
