Includes bibliographical references and index. Visual culture, everyday life, difference, and visual literacy / interview with Nicholas Mirzoeff -- That visual turn : the advent of visual culture / interview with Martin Jay -- Polemics, postmodernism, immersion, militarized space / interview with Hal Foster. "Visual Culture Studies presents 13 engaging and detailed interviews with some of the most influential intellectuals working today on the objects, subjects, media and environments of visual culture. Exploring historical and theoretical questions of vision, the visual and visuality, this collection reveals the provocative insights of these thinkers, as they have contributed in exhilarating ways to disturbing the parameters of more traditional areas of study across the arts, humanities, and social sciences. In so doing they have key roles in establishing Visual Culture Studies as a significant field of inquiry." "Each interview draws out the interests and commitments of the interviewee to critically interrogate the past, present and future possibilities of Visual Culture Studies and visual culture itself."--BOOK JACKET. |
