Dear AoIRers Since blog users and online community members are increasingly posting multimedia content and not only text, discourse analysis seems no longer sufficient to analyze this content. Therefore, I am looking for ways to classify and analyze images as such. One important aspect is certainly given by the context where the images are posted, but how can images be handled? I looked at ethnographic and semiotic approaches to get some background, but so far I could not find a suitable way to classify or analyze this type of content. Does anybody have experience in this area, or can anybody suggest a suitable approach for this problem? best wishes Nicole MA.
