Visual culture is called also visual study, it is a new field mainly studying the cultural construction of the art, media and the video in daily life, in this study of the territory and the pioneering course, the visual image is the key factor of significance in some cultural context. Hemingway’s novels are recognized as having visual characteristics, Visualization refers that his novels pursue a visible realm, whether it is the description of the characters, the description of the scenery, or narrative of events is pursuing the presence of being personally on the scene of the readers, reproducing the development of the story and people’s words and deeds by objective perspective, not penetrating his feelings, not adding his own comments, letting the readers discover by themselves, feeling by themselves, translating the thought can be understood into visible thought. Thus the visual effect is to create a kind of being personally on the scene feeling for the readers, letting the readers do not depend on author or subjective comments, not passively rely on the author, but rely on their own place oneself in others’position they see and what they want to know about the novel. Hemingway pursuits the sense of presence letting a person feels be personally on the scene in his novels, because it is an important means to arouse readers’enthusiasm and to let the readers abandon the dependence on the author, and dialogue is a very important and very common expression in expressions of creating a sense of the scene. Hemingway uses the dialogue in place of narrative and the further exploration of the characters’inner world, letting the author exit from the text, letting the readers can’t find the subjective feelings of the author, only expressing the scene and the characters in the form of dialogues to let the readers draw their own feelings from the conversations, minimizing the distance of the text and the readers and restoring the life’s true face.The dissertation discusses the visual effect of the dialogues in Hemingway’novels from three aspects of the objectivity of the dialogue, the language of the dialogue and the visual effect of the dialogue, the three parts around the dialogue, each part has its own focus going forward one by one to make us understand the visual effect of the dialogue in Hemingway’s novels. The dissertation divides into the following three chapters:The first chapter "the objectivity of the dialogue" discusses the objectivity of the dialogue in Hemingway’s novels from "in the eye of the spectator" and "polyphony". Objectivity is one of the most prominent characteristics of Hemingway’s novels, Hemingway records the reality in his novels in the eyes of the spectator, he uses the representation of exhibition and imitates the conversations in the real life, he eliminates his own voice to achieve the objective narrative effect, and thus his works have the features of polyphonic novels. The second chapter "the language of the dialogue" discusses the language of the dialogue in Hemingway’s novels from three aspects of the simple dialogue, the oral dialogue and the accurate and vivid dialogue. The most prominent feature of the language of Hemingway is concise, he pursuits to use the simple words to describe accurately, Hemingway moves the scenery, character and action originally to us to achieve the same effect without the help of the other feelings. The third chapter "the visual effect of the dialogue" discusses the visual characteristics in Hemingway’s novels from three aspects of "the sense of presence and dramatic","the distinctive characters" and "the cold eyes of the camera". In Hemingway’s novels, we can easily find the traces of the film, to achieve the best effect of imitation, Hemingway withdraws from the novel, objectively records the characters’language and action, creates the real sense of presence, creates the individual characters, and he introduces the plot and character using "display" language, this kind of language just likely imitates the neutral of the camera.
