Features: Clearly, or not? This has become a significant topic in contemporary visual culture studies. Behind the various visible images lie invisible cultures, ideas, and meanings, especially in today's image era, where the dissemination of visual culture has permeated all aspects of people's lives and has had a profound impact on the world. Comprehensive theoretical research on it has also become a necessary requirement. This book collects the research highlights of the first international symposium on visual cultural communication in China, focusing on the theme "Globalization: Visible and Invisible." It expands, extends, and refines related fields, with academic focal points such as the current state and development of visual culture theory, social changes from the perspective of visual culture, the appearance and reality of visual cultural communication, visual culture and consumer society, and globalization and localization in visual cultural communication. From multiple levels—such as theoretical construction, audiovisual reading, broadening horizons, and case studies of images—the book provides systematic and in-depth interpretations of visual cultural communication, showcasing the latest developments in the field. The book is both theoretically profound and highly relevant to reality, rich in visuals, and strongly contemporary. It serves as a reference text for students in university programs such as visual arts, design, and communication, and offers insightful and guiding value for visual culture enthusiasts and researchers.
