The Politics of In/Visibility (eBook, PDF)

Being There

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Visibility matters in contemporary societies; online, in the media and in the public eye. But who is seen and how? Are women still seen through a male gaze? This book explores the politics of looking and being looked at, and the relationship between actual and virtual worlds, for example in sport, art and cinema.
