研究テーマ
1.	Visual representation of social reality in television news.
2.	The ideology of news production includes claims of 'objectivity' and 'truthfulness'; does a visual semiotic analysis of the images presented by news broadcasters undermine or support these claims?
3.	Development of visual semiotic theories appropriate to the analysis and understanding of realistic, time-based media such as television news.
4.	Visual semiotic theory, developed in the social semiotics tradition, does not adequately deal with many aspects of meaning-making in time-based visuals, thus more work is needed to extend the ideas behind visual semiotic thinking and to test these ideas against a range of texts/data.
5.	Japan's mass media industry
6.	The context for production of the images I consider is the particular 'regime of production' which obtains within the media-system in Japan.
7.	In order to understand why images take on the form they do, to some extent, it is also necessary to understand the working practices of image-producers and the structures which inform their working activities.
