The volume gathers original articles by visual culture studies experts in the fields of Art History, American Studies, History, and Political Science from Europe and the United States. The collection explores the political function and cultural impact of images and how political iconographies interpret norms of actions, support ideological formations, and enhance moral concepts. Visual rhetorics are understood as active players in the construction and contestation of the political realm and public space.
