Visual Literacy & Gender ALISE Gender SIG Kristen Gallant - kgallant@binghamton.edu

Visual Literacy - A Formal Definition “Visual literacy is a set of abilities that enables an individual to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media.” “Visual literacy skills equip a learner to understand and analyze the contextual, cultural, ethical, aesthetic, intellectual, and technical components involved in the production and use of visual materials. A visually literate individual is both a critical consumer of visual media and a competent contributor to a body of shared knowledge and culture.” ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/visualliteracy

Visual Literacy - In Practice Understanding and evaluating what I am looking at. Knowing what resource I need and where to find them. Am I using visual resources effectively? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Creating meaning from a visual resource. John Tenniel, Alice Through the Looking Glass, sketch, 1871. Retrieved from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Alice_through_the_looking_glass.jpg

How does gender influence what I do? Issues of gender equality - it shapes our expectations Contemporary images and how they are perceived Does visual literacy mean we have to talk about photoshopping? Are male and female subjects treated the same in contemporary media? (e.g. social media, magazine covers, movie trailers, etc.) How we talk about gender in regards to its representation in images and works of art Motive of the artist, bystander, creator, etc Our own gender filter - staying objective

Visual ideals - expectations in regards to gender Is there an ideal masculine form? Is there an ideal feminine form? Are there expectations for how a transgendered person is represented in the media?

Talking About Gender in the Classroom - Personal Experience Gender can come into play in situations where we describe an image. ⇒ Use this opportunity to do it as a class. Having awareness when it comes to issues of transgender. ⇒ You could be talking about a transgender subject or teaching a transgender student. Educating yourself by using appropriate resources. ⇒ GLAAD Media Reference Guide Finding the appropriate time to bring up issues of bias, stereotypes, or our own personal filters ⇒ Lead by example.
