Invisibility Studies explores current changes in the relationship
between what we consider visible and what invisible in different
areas of contemporary culture. Contributions trace how these
changes make their marks on various cultural fields and investigate
the cultural significance of these developments, such as
transparency and privacy in urban architecture and the silent
invasion of surveillance technologies into everyday life. The book
contends that when it comes to the changing relationship of the
visible and the invisible, the connection between seeing and not
being seen is an exchange conditioned by physical and social
settings that create certain possibilities for visibility and
visuality, yet exclude others. The richness and complexity of this
cultural framework means that no single discipline or
interdisciplinary approach could capture it single-handedly.
Invisibility Studies begins this conversation by bringing together
scholars across the fields of architectural history and theory,
art, film and literature, philosophy, cultural theory and
contemporary anthropology as well as featuring work by a collective
of artists.
