A major new textbook for students of contemporary American art and
media, and modern American history. American Visual Cultures
analyses the role of painting, photography, film, television,
advertising, journalism and other visual media in the historical
development of the United States from the Civil War to the present
day. It offers a chronology of major debates and developments in
modern US history and traces the social, political and economic
factors that have shaped the development of visual forms and
practices across time. Illustrated throughout, the book combines a
wide range of critical approaches and is made up of new essays by
internationally renowned scholars. A General Introduction, in which
the editors discuss the theoretical and pedagogical approaches
shaping the contemporary study of visual culture, with particular
reference to the United States, is followed by four sections, each
covering a defined chronological period: 1861-1929; 1929-1963;
1963-1980; 1980 to the present. Each section opens with an
introduction by the editors, giving historical and cultural context
and highlighting thematic and pedagogical links between essays. An
annotated bibliography of suggested further reading completes this
invaluable and unique resource for the student and teacher of
modern American art, media and culture.
