Advertising has been particularly explored in communication sciences. It is increasingly relevant today in the broad field of visual culture, aesthetics and visualities, visual studies, semiotics and image analysis in its many representations.

The multimodal approach to advertising texts has indeed proved the need for reflection on how the visual mode of advertising connects with the verbal but, most importantly, emancipates from it. Thus, it discloses research perspectives focusing on advertising as a form of communication in today's visual culture and as constructed by and builder of aesthetic and artistic imaginaries at the intersection of visual arts, design and visual communication.

In this thematic section of Vista, we invite scholars to submit (full-length, in text format) articles, book reviews, interviews and visual projects that address the relevance of advertising in visual culture and, in the same vein, the different forms of visuality in advertising.

Special attention will be given to proposals focusing on the following themes:

  • Advertising, design, image and other pluralities;
  • Advertising, artificial intelligence and "digitalities";
  • Advertising and the speed of complex time — contemporary narratives;
  • Advertising, mirror-reflection, semiotics, rhetoric and cognitive processes;
  • Advertising and the new generations;
  • Dialogues marketing, advertising, and market.
