"The literature on 'bridging the semantic gap' between mass and network mediated visuals and algorithms for their automatic identification and classification is growing and requires transdisciplinary contributions in Part I by eminent computer and social scientists. In Part II, scholars from the social sciences and journalism explore a few major landmarks of the vastly neglected and more challenging areas of soundscapes and multi-sensory experiences as well as censorship."--Publisher's description

This series will reconstruct and explain the shifting balances, the complementarity and contradictions, between the potentials of improved intercultural and transcultural visual communication and its strategic exploitation through visual hegemonies. We will also enhance the cooperation of the computer sciences, humanities, and social sciences and the development of software for modeling key visuals from various genres, media, and cultural zones. Volume 1 exemplifies this international research endeavor in a general trans-disciplinary outline as well as case studies from the perspectives of musicology, psychology, and the social sciences.
