ABSTRACT
Discourses on images are about images that have been created deliberately. These include: literary metaphors, images in art, photographs, film images, digital images and the images of the (natural) sciences produced by imaging techniques. Although images play an important role in our visually oriented contemporary culture, research has paid little attention to the numerous images of daily life that people are constantly creating by their actions. Thus there are only a few studies on images of social life and their significance for educational and socialisation processes. 1 This is also surprising in view of the fact that images are becoming increasingly important in public communication, social relationships and education.
