Produktbeschreibung
Global Visual Cultures is a definitive collection of works on the current topics in the field of visual culture. Contributing to an expanding theoretical framework for considering visual culture, the volume brings together a selection of readings relevant to a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary settings, from critical theory, anthropology, and history, to political science, architecture, and ethnic, race, and gender studies. Revealing the interplay between areas of study in this diverse field, the texts analyze cultural phenomena in global and local contexts and across a broad geographical and geopolitical terrain. With topics ranging from Michael Jackson to 9/11, from webcams and surveillance to Antarctica and gendered images, the essays selected for inclusion in Global Visual Cultures address multiple interpretations of the visual, from considerations of the "everyday" to global political contexts. This definitive anthology provides a new and groundbreaking perspective on visual culture on a global scale.

Rezensionen
"What makes this volume unique is its welcoming of varioustopics; asking its readers to stroll over these by putting themside-by-side and by putting aside, if there is any, theircategorical and/or taxonomical views; and having the company ofthese myriad fields of visual culture ... Global VisualCultures is a timely endeavour in broaching our capacity toimagine the world as a global entity which entails variousmechanisms of exchange and sharing." (British Journal ofAesthetics, April 2013)"Many anthologies dealing withglobalization are not global themselves. This book is a trulyglobal, novel and incisive approach to the intricacies ofcontemporary visual culture and its politicalcomplexities."
