  • Visual Communication Quarterly Special Issue Call for Papers: The State of Visual Evidence
    Morris’s sentiment emphasizes the role of images—especially photographs and videos—to help galvanize evidentiary claims and to help create the foundations from which societies can construct notions of truth or fact. Although this role is socially constituted rather than being an inherent quality of the medium (Tagg, 1988), it has been instrumental in both emancipatory and oppressive projects since its inception. Yet, with the surge in visual misinformation, disinformation, and evolving artificial intelligence (AI), the epistemic role of still and moving images to convey truth has reached a crucible. This prompts a critical inquiry: What theoretical and interpretive frameworks, technologies, and practices can identify, categorize, and preserve images’ evidentiary value? To delve deeper, what precisely is worth preserving? Abstract submission deadline: March 19, 2024; Notification on submitted abstracts: March 22, 2024; Full manuscript submission deadline: May 1, 2024. See complete call.
