As many observers have noted, the world is becoming increasingly
visually mediated, with the rise of computers and the internet
being central factors in the emergence of new tools and
conventions. Exploring the social structure of visuality, this
volume contains a collection of essays by internationally renowned
artists and scholars from a variety of fields (including art
history, literary theory and criticism, cultural studies, film and
television studies, intellectual history and sociology). It was
conceived to address a bold query: how is our experience and
understanding of vision and visual form changing under pressure
from the various social, economic and cultural factors that are
linked under the term globalization.
The essays overlap in their considerations of the tensions between
cultures and worlds, political life, everyday social experience,
and war. The resulting conversation that develops between the
chapters touches on points from many visual worlds, and provides a
unique opportunityfor considering the changing character of visual
experience today.
This book will attract readers from a wide range of academic
disciplines and will especially be valuable as a textbook for
graduate and undergraduate courses in visual culture and cultural
studies.
