Abstract

What do “threats” look like in the Global South in tagged social imagery, and what can these respective imagesets suggest about (1) formal outreaches to the broader publics by strategic messengers, (2) public awareness of such threats and their potential response role, and (3) the apparent (root) causes of these threats and possible risk mitigations? Are there visual differences in the senses of threat to the Global South as compared to the world? Finally, global and national-level frameworks about global threats were captured from international and national entities and used to recode the selected social images in a top-down way and to understand if there are gaps in social image representations about threats in the Global South and what these gaps may mean in public awareness of threats and preparedness.
