A multimodal analysis of some selected banners of Imam Hussein's visitors

Author(s):

Ammar Lateef Awad and Ibrahim Enad Kadhim

Abstract:

This study provides a multimodal visual analysis of a politically and religiously significant image captured during Imam Hussein’s Ziyarat Arba’een. The analysis applies Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (2006) metafunctional framework, which evaluates images according to representational, interactive, and compositional meanings. Through this lens, the images are explored in terms of the embedded ideological meanings and the way they visually construct identity, power, and devotion within a public and religious-political sphere. The study reached the results that during this occasion, pilgrims raise various banners that reflect their orientations and beliefs. These banners often contain images, portraits, or paintings of certain influential figures.
