An Introduction To Visual Culture Description: This introduction to the history and theory of visual culture from painting to the computer and television screen should be of interest to students of art and art history as well as students of cultural studies. Mirzoeff begins by defining what visual culture is, and explores how and why visual media - fine art, cinema, the Internet, advertising, performance, photography and television - have become so central to contemporary everyday life. He argues that the visual is replacing the linguistic as our primary means of communicating with each other and of understanding our postmodern world.;Part One of the Introduction presents a history of modern ways of seeing, including: the formal practices of line and colour in painting; photography`s claim to represent reality; and virtual reality, from the 19th century to the present. In Part Two, Mirzoeff examines: the visualization of race, sexuality and human identity in culture; gender and sexuality and questions of the gaze in visual culture; representations of encounters with the other, from colonial narratives to science fiction texts such as The Thing, Independence Day, Star Trek and The X-Files; the death of Princess Diana and the popular mourning which followed, as marking the coming of age of a global visualized culture....
