*SPECIAL ISSUE ON: The Politics of Digital Visual Cultures*



*International Journal of E-Politics (IJEP)*

*Guest Editor: Yasmin Ibrahim, **University of London, UK*



*OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE*:

This special issue explores the tenuous terrain of visual culture and image
capture facilitated by new forms of information and communication
technologies. How have new multimedia platforms, image capture and recording
technologies facilitated event creation and the communication of politics in
the digital age? The convergence of technologies and the ability to capture
and upload images on the move makes the body a site for image capture,
surveillance and witnessing. This conjoining of the corporeal body and
mobile telephony provides new ways to communicate images and to circulate
them to a wider audience on the internet. The pervasive circulation of still
and moving images on the internet with multimedia platforms and the creation
of counter-sites of visual pleasure calls for a re-examination of this
visual culture where notions of the private and public are re-configured and
where consumption of images and videos can be de-contextualised from the
context of production providing a stage for new forms of ritualization and
commemoration. The issue will explore the social, political and cultural
impacts of this visual culture in different societies and communities.
