Beskrivning

The Visual Studies Companion explores visual studies globally, combining newly commissioned essays with influential archival articles from the Visual Studies journal to broaden dialogue and deepen understanding across disciplines.This volume delivers a rich, multi-format approach to visual scholarship. It features traditional essays, interviews, visual essays, a syllabus for teaching with visual studies, critical pieces reprinted from the journal, and reflexive dialogues. Readers will explore visual studies as both a field of study and methodological lens, examining its relationship to various disciplines including art history, cultural studies, sociology, and anthropology. The Visual Studies Companion addresses practices of writing, visualizing, and communicating ideas; distribution of knowledge from film and photography to exhibitions and political discourse; and critical debates on ethics, coloniality, representation, and inclusion. This wide-ranging, interdisciplinary volume will be of interest to students and scholars across the social sciences and the arts and humanities (e.g., sociology, anthropology, geography, cultural and media studies, documentary film and photography, information technology, education, communication studies, art history, and visual culture), as well as other fields concerned with image-based study.

Recensioner i media

"This impressive companion collates a wide range of thought-provoking reflections on the theories, methodologies and analyses generated by four decades of visual studies research. Its diverse contributions reflect on the accomplishments of that scholarship, consider what it neglected, and speculate on future directions. Its editors are to be congratulated on assembling such a rich and provocative volume."Gillian Rose, Professor of Human Geography, University of Oxford and author of Visual Methodologies: An Introduction to Researching with Visual Materials (6th Ed. 2027)“In its 40-year history, the field of visual studies has developed from a project aimed at enlarging art history’s subjects and theories to a politically engaged venue for exploring the visual dimensions of contemporary life. This book is an enormous achievement of condensation and clarity, and showcases one of visual studies’ more significant and less appreciated properties: unlike art history, visual studies continues to speak with a coherent voice, aimed directly at the present moment, its politics, and its possibilities.”James Elkins, E.C. Chadbourne Professor in the Department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism, School of the Art Institute of Chicago“The Visual Studies Companion presents a rich landscape in visual studies focusing on previously understudied topics, including multisensory approaches, and discusses new ways of thinking about digital relationalities and transgressing power. The collection addresses current ethical challenges, suggests new avenues of research, and highlights the necessity of the collaborative nature of future methodologies. This book will be indispensable for anyone with a serious interest in the field of the visual.”Margaret Dikovitskaya, Professor at Columbia University and author of Visual Culture: The Study of the Visual after the Cultural Turn (2005)
