Description
Visual Culture: A Guide to Thinking About Looking and Seeing. How do we navigate our visual environment? Everything around us becomes legible, normalized, accessible. But what happens when we look at the world? This guide explores how we engage with and are manipulated by what we see, drawing on historical and contemporary examples. It considers questions about who is allowed to see it, whose bodies have been present or absent from visual culture, and when the visual becomes detached from time. The book offers a framework for thinking critically about visual culture, outlining strategies for understanding how our surroundings shape us. By examining the complexities of what we see, Alexis Boylan provides insights into how we might use the visual to promote positive change.
