It concerns both the use of visual methods (e.g., photography or filmmaking) and the study of visual phenomena as part of political facts, events and representations. Since its gradual development in the late 1990s and its expansion in the following decade, scholarly research dedicated to visual politics includes various analytical approaches and covers a large yet specialized spectrum of fields and research topics – including but not limited to new technologies; discourses, representations and forms of warfare; peace and conflict; foreign policy; refugee crises; health issues; international organizations; diplomacy; affects and emotions; identity politics; nationalisms. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Owing to the unique structure and representation of IPSA and its biennial World Congress, RC04 aims to bridge gaps and further build more global and inclusive understanding on visual politics, to potentiate a new type of interdisciplinary conversation. It will promote and discuss the role of visuals in the scholarly apprehension of the political, while contributing to field’s inclusivity and global representativeness. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
