Why choose this project topic?
This topic turns visual literary studies into a focused reading task by investigating how cover imagery encourages environmental readings of African fiction. A clearly bounded corpus gives you passages to compare and an argument to develop beyond a general plot summary.
What does a close analysis of multiple legally viewed editions of four environmentally themed novels reveal about how cover imagery encourages environmental readings of African fiction?
Agree the corpus size, editions and critical framework for this study of how cover imagery encourages environmental readings of African fiction with your supervisor.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the textual features relevant to how cover imagery encourages environmental readings of African fiction.
- 02Build a documented evidence set from multiple legally viewed editions of four environmentally themed novels.
- 03Compare landscape, colour and human figures with recurring textual images and document edition-specific changes.
A suggested research approach
Obtain lawful access to multiple legally viewed editions of four environmentally themed novels. Compare landscape, colour and human figures with recurring textual images and document edition-specific changes. Establish selection criteria before detailed reading, record edition and page references, and test the developing interpretation against passages that complicate it.
What you will need
- Lawful access to multiple legally viewed editions of four environmentally themed novels
- A reading matrix for how cover imagery encourages environmental readings of African fiction
- Relevant scholarly criticism and a consistent citation system
Keep your project scope clear
Visual interpretation alone cannot prove a designer's intention or an edition's sales effect.
