About This Journal

Imago is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing critical and interdisciplinary research on visual communication and discursive practices within contemporary digital cultures.

2. Digital Culture and Mediated Communication
   Research on platform-based communication, digital interaction, and the socio-technical conditions shaping contemporary mediated practices.

3. Critical and Multimodal Discourse Analysis
   Theoretical and methodological approaches to discourse, including critical discourse analysis, multimodality, and semiotic analysis in digital and visual contexts.

4. Power, Identity, and Representation in Media
   Analyses of how media and visual discourse reproduce or contest power relations, identities, and social inequalities.

5. Visual Politics and Communicative Practices
   Studies of political communication, activism, public discourse, and visual strategies in sociocultural transformation.
