The global impact of South Korean popular culture
One of the defining social trends of our times is a steady shift in global power from West to East. In the economic sphere, this trend was documented as early as 2007 by Maddison (2007), whose data

Visual Communication
As an organized subarea of academic communication scholarship, the study of visual communication is relatively new. For instance, at this writing, visual communication has not yet attained regular division status in either the International Communication Association or the National Communication Association. However, interest in visual issues appears to be growing among communication scholars, and the two books under review are part of a rapidly …

The Role of Images in Framing News Stories
This chapter complicates, and perhaps contradicts, the notion that infinite re-interpretations of television source material are either possible or likely. It demonstrates that the frames placed around international news stories by television news agencies do carry through to the stories that are broadcast and to the construction of newscasts, especially in the case of smaller broadcasters, which are highly dependent on agency product. Despite th…
Visual aspects of media literacy
A central component of media literacy should be an understanding of the representational conventions through which the users of media create and share meanings. This paper analyzes the representational conventions of visual communications. It distinguishes between semantic and syntactic conventions and focuses on those characteristics that most sharply differentiate visual language from other modes of communication. It examines the impact of visu…

Visual “Literacy”
Video ergo cogito
For more than a decade, educators and media critics have been arguing that we are on the threshold of a new age of visual thinking (e.g., Pittman, 1990). Their reasoning: young people's minds are now being molded from the earliest years by intense exposure to television and other visual media; consequently, the young people of today are part of a new 'visual generation.' This is a widely accepted claim, and there are some data that seem to suppor…

"Visuel "læsefærdighed
Kognitions- og neurovidenskaben har i de senere år givet inspiration til en fornyet interesse inden for film- og medieforskningen for menne- skets grundlæggende evne til at percipere og forstå visuel kommuni- kation. I denne artikel tager Paul Messaris udgangspunkt i kognitions- forskningen og de empiriske studier, der foreligger på området. Forfat- teren argumenterer på den baggrund mod den udbredte antagelse, at evnen til at forstå visuel kommu…

Does TV Belong in the Classroom? Cognitive Consequences of Visual “Literacy”
In the face of mounting support (on the part of academic writers, if not the general public) for an increased emphasis on visual media in primary and secondary education, this essay examines one of the major arguments accompanying this trend, namely, the idea that visual “literacy” (in the sense of fluency regarding the conventions of visual communication) leads to a more general enhancement of cognitive skills. The possibility that a specificall…
"Visual "Literacy
People who study visual communication commonly assume that the ability to recognize the content of still or moving images requires prior familiarity with a set of representational conventions. This article argues against this notion. Drawing on recent theoretical developments regarding visual cognition, the article contends that an image's lack of fidelity to visual reality need not impede interpretation by an inexperienced viewer, so long as the…
Image vs. reality in Korean‐Americans’ responses to mass‐mediated depictions of the United States
This paper presents findings from a series of interviews with Korean‐American residents of Philadelphia. These interviews dealt with the informants’ pre‐immigration experiences with images of the United States in movies, television programs, and magazines. The interviewees were asked to evaluate the role of these images in their decisions to immigrate and about their post‐immigration responses to the relationship between these images and the real…
Positive Images
Family Conversations About Television
This is an examination of two kinds of conversations that parents and children sometimes have about television programs: first, conversations in which parents and children seek and / or exchange information about some aspect of reality portrayed or referred to on television; second, conversations in which family members discuss the appropriateness or inappropriateness of behavior shown or mentioned on television as a model for their own or other …
On the Consequences of Television-Related Parent-Child Interaction
This is a theoretical examination of certain ways in which a child's development may be affected by parent-child interactions in which the content of television programming appears as an explicit referent, i. e., as the topic of a verbal exchange, as the premise for a game, and so forth. The discussion deals with four areas of development, viz.: (1) the child's interpretational skills with regard to the television medium; (2) the child's repertor…
