Provides an up-to-date overview of the present state Visual Cultural Studies, featuring new original content, topics, and methods
The Wiley Blackwell Concise Companion to Visual Culture brings together original research by both established scholars and new voices in the dynamic field, exploring the history, current state, and possible future directions of visual cultural studies. Organized as a series of non-traditional keyword essays, this innovative volume engages readers with a diversity of ideas and perspectives to broaden and enrich their understanding of visual culture and its operations.
This accessible, reader-friendly volume begins with a brief introduction to the history and practices of visual studies, featuring interviews and conversations with key figures such as W.J.T. Mitchell and Douglas Crimp. The majority of the text explores key concepts within a broad framework of history, ecologies, mediations, agencies, and politics while placing particular emphasis on interdisciplinarity and intersectionality. Essays cover keyword topics including Identities, Representation, Institutions, Architectures, Memes, Environment, Temporality, and many more. Offering a unique approach to the subject, this timely resource:
- Presents new work from a diverse group of scholars with a broad range of social, cultural, and generational perspectives
- Emphasizes the importance of activism and political urgency in humanities scholarship
- Discusses engaging objects and discourses beyond film and art, such as architecture, video games, political activism, and the nonhuman
- Highlights the diverse and interconnecting elements of visual culture scholarship
- Includes case studies and short introductions that provide context and reinforce core concepts
The Wiley Blackwell Concise Companion to Visual Culture is essential reading for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars in the fields of visual studies, art history, film studies, and media studies.
