520 $a"Global Visual Cultures is a definitive collection of works on the current topics in the field of visual culture. Contributing to an expanding theoretical framework for considering visual culture, the volume brings together a selection of readings relevant in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary settings, from critical theory, anthropology and history, to political science, architecture, and ethnic, race and gender studies. Revealing the interplay between areas of study in this diverse field, the texts analyze cultural phenomena in global and local contexts and across a broad geographical and geopolitical terrain. With topics ranging from Michael Jackson to 9/11, from webcams and surveillance to Antarctica and gendered images, the essays selected for inclusion in Global Visual Cultures address multiple interpretations of the visual, from considerations of the "everyday" to global political contexts. This definitive anthology provides a new and groundbreaking perspective on visual culture on a global scale"--$cProvided by publisher.
