Going beyond the cursory reasons behind why we capture images on
the move, Politics of Gaze explores our contemporary practices
around visual imaging and brings original conceptualisations about
why we constantly capture ourselves and our environments through
digital technologies. Our technologically mediated 'everyday
visuality' has moral and ethical implications for the ways in which
we construct our worlds, understand world events, represent
ourselves, commodify our environments and transact these with the
wider world. Through these acts we constantly negotiate our sense
of aesthetics, our notions of what is private and public, our
depictions of the everyday and issues of security and conflict
whilst constructing moral codes for a technologically-mediated
society. This book argues that we have crafted a 'Glasshouse'
society where the forms of gaze are open-ended, promising us
empowerment while making us endlessly vulnerable. Politics of Gaze
is a vital resource for New Media studies and related fields such
as photography, technology studies, visual communications,
journalism and sociology.
