Abstract Details

2022, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, English (Arts and Sciences).
This study explores how a single visual from an online NASA article gets used as evidence in three different online contexts. The author found these new online contexts using Google Images reverse search function. In locating these visuals in new online contexts, this study analyzes how the visual events contained within a single figure correspond to the linguistic portions of the online contexts. The resulting analysis found that the visual and linguistic connections show that the writers in these online contexts used the same figure as evidence to make different yet similar arguments. Moreover, this reverse search method was applied to junior composition course for the purpose of seeing how effectively the author’s method helped composition students identify visuals as arguments.
