This evening I attended an interesting and useful session by Natasa Lackovic on the subject of visual research methodologies. Natasa had prepared a video presentation in advance of the session that I watched earlier today (and for which I have a few pages of hand written notes). Here's the link to the video:
And here are some of my notes from this evening's session (with a full transcript at the bottom).
Some texts mentioned during the seminar:
  • Carey Jewitt, Multimodality handbook
  • Mitchell, Doing visual research
  • Ways of seeing, didn't catch this one
  • Mirzoeff, Visual culture reader, 
  • Selfe and Selfe, Desktop metaphors
  • Derrida - maybe something about deconstruction?

The following information snet through from Jen Ross ahead of Natasa Lackovic's session on visual literacy next Tuesday. The video doesn't play (something to do with Windows Media Player, apparently) so I'll need to try go in early to work and try and catch it before Tuesday.
"Hello everyone,

I'm writing with details of the "deeper than the eye can see" event with our guest expert, Natasa Lackovic from the University of Nottingham. MSc in E-learning participants, alumni, teachers and friends are all welcome to join in next week on Tuesday 20 November, 7:30-8:30pm UK time.

Before the event, please watch Natasa's introduction and her video lecture. These are available at:

mms://resources.lsri.nottingham.ac.uk/stream/natasa/introduction.wmv
mms://resources.lsri.nottingham.ac.uk/stream/natasa/screencast.wmv
 
These streams will play in a number of clients across various platforms including Windows, Mac and Linux. The open source client VLC worked well for me, and this is a free download from: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Then, on the 20th, join us in Blackboard Collaborate for an hour-long discussion session at 7:30pm (UK time). Along with talking with Natasa about her research and presentation, and learning more about visual methods, this should be a great opportunity to get and share some inspiration and insights for your own research projects or assignments.

On the 20th, you can access the Collaborate session through the MSc E-learning Moodle course, or directly at this link:

If you haven't run Collaborate recently, you should check your setup - directions for this below.

If you have any questions, please let me know! 

Looking forward to seeing you online next Tuesday evening!

Jen

Natasa Lackovic replies to my message from 3 November

I'm really glad that I contacted Natasa Lackovic and that I took time to speak to her during her time at Edinburgh University earlier this year. From what I know of Natasa she is a shining star in her field therefore, just as with members of the MSc in E-Learning team and with Michael and Jeremy, I'm going to try to learn as much from her as possible. It was really good then to get a reply to the message that I sent on Friday, including the offer to continue our discussions. 
Hello James,

So nice to hear from you! Thank you for writing and for your kind words.

Your dissertation topic sounds very interesting! I would like to know more about it. In my presentation I won't talk about multimodal analysis, but I have read a lot of material on multimodality and multimodal analysis and happy to suggest some readings but I am sure you already know many of those readings.

I am preparing a presentation that deals with visual research methods in general, pointing at some things to be considered when doing such a type or research and will provide an example of photo elicitation based research (it is the paper on national identity formation and textbook images, I can send you an updated paper). When it comes to analysing data, I like structural frameworks such as the semiotic one which distinguishes between image materiality and its descriptive value, its meaning and the object it represents (of course not as separate entities but working at the same time). It is useful for what I have been doing in my thesis. But yes, feel free to contact me if I can be of any help for your dissertation research.

Yes, "see" you soon (on the 20th for an online discussion but the screen cast presentation will be uploaded earlier).

Kind regards,

Natasa

This evening I've replied to Natasa thanking her and taking up her offer of some suggested reading within multimodality. I've also said that I'll get in touch again to discuss my research once it's a bit more formed.

Having registered to attend the forthcoming 'deeper than the eye can see' seminar, I've e-mailed Natasa Lackovic to reintroduce myself and to let her know my dissertation plans. I've also had a quick glance at her publications list and will add the relevant work to my resources page. Meanwhile, here's a visual bookmark of her page of the Nottingham University website. 'Visual bookmarking' - I like that.

Forthcoming visual methodologies seminar

2/11/2012

I've signed up for a forthcoming session on the subject of visual methodologies that will be delivered by Natasa Lackovic. As the description says on the MSc course hub, this seminar will be of particular value to those at dissertation stage and interested in visual research, which is me, really. I've met Natasa before and am sure this will be a useful session. In fact we agreed to keep in touch so I should e-mail her ahead of the session to let her know about my dissertation plans.
