INTERPRETING VISUAL CULTURE
The role of the ‘visual’ and of human perception is increasingly being seen as
central to an understanding of the contemporary human condition.
Interpreting
Visual Culture
brings together the writings of some of the leading experts in art
history, philosophy, sociology and cultural studies. Ranging from an analysis of
the role of vision in current critical discourse to discussion of specific examples
taken from the visual arts, ethics and sociology, this edited collection presents
the latest material on the interpretation of the visual in modern culture.
Topics covered include:
• The hermeneutics of seeing
• The visual rhetoric of modernity
• The drawings of Bonnard
• Recent feminist art
• Practices and perceptions in art and ethics
Divided into three main sections, each beginning with an introductory chapter
outlining the main topics under discussion, this comprehensive and engaging
book will be essential reading for students of sociology, cultural studies and art
history.
