Críticas

"What has become known as the "visual turn" in contemporary cultural theory finds in this lively collection a wealth of stimulating exemplars. "Visual Culture provides fresh perspectives on a wide range of interlocking themes, from optical technologies to models of specularity, from avant-garde art to popular culture, from urban landscapes to the interiority of the modern subject." -Martin Jay, University of California at Berkeley
