- Title
Texts, Images and Display Conventions in Sociology.
- Authors
Stasz, Clarice
- Abstract
This essay examines the problem of presentation of the photographic project in visual sociology. The discussion begins with Barthes' analysis of the relationship between text and image. It then addresses conventions of sociology and art, showing how these disciplines offer alternative solutions to the problem of display. Finally, a review of an exhibit of the work of visual sociologists illustrates the operation of conventions, which, seen from Barthes' perspective, appear problematic.
