Anton Törnberg: Visual rhetoric of climate denialism: a multimodal mixed-method approach to image analysis
This paper embarks on an empirical investigation into the visual rhetoric employed by central actors within the countermovement in Sweden, delving into the visual dimensions of their political mobilization. While arguments and discourses of these movements have been extensively scrutinized in previous research, the visual dimension of their communication has remained comparatively under-explored, particularly the interplay between textual and visual elements. We adopt a mixed-method multimodal computational approach, combining image classification with topic modeling. This approach enables a systematic analysis of large image-text datasets, allowing us to classify image clusters and examine their variations over time. This approach is combined with in-depth qualitative analysis. For this study, we have collected 13, images, along with their accompanying texts, from dominant actors within the Swedish countermovement.
