During my stay at Sheffield
University between May 1st and August 31st 2016, I will be working on
a research project entitled “Visual Culture and Rhetorical Communication”. The
aim of the project is to examine the relationship between photography and visual
rhetoric.

The evolution of the
communication strategies in the XXIst century has developed new narrative and rhetoric
formulas especially in the field of visual culture, where the linguistic system
could have –or have in fact- a rhetoric communication transformation. This is
possible due to the development of the audiovisual communication and to our
continuous exposure to visual messages.

| Diego Ibarra, 2013 |
We need to deepen the
codification of this new communicational strategies and study not only how this
rhetoric works in visual pieces, but the pieces themselves.
The main goal is to find,
or to develop if needed, a reading system to decode and analyse the rhetoric
elements present in our contemporary visual culture, focusing on documentary
photography.
As secondary goals:
- Find if is there a specific branch of documentary photography that uses aesthetic and rhetoric tools in order to achieve deeper and more effective expression and social persuasion
- Determine if there is a paradigm shift in social communication and visual culture
