The reason that i chosed this course was simply-my humanity credit for the win.
What is visual culture? The first thing that came into my mind is fashion: those various of design represent people’s concepts, creation, and attitude of different life styles. The second thing would be paintings and photograpgy. After reading the textbook, I knew that the visual culture is, those aspects of culture that are manifested in visual form-paintings, prints, photographs, film, television, video, advertisements, new images, and science images.
Visual culture has a particular investment in vision as an historically and culturally specific experience, mediated by new technologies and the individual and social formations that they enable. Putting visual objects, image-production and reception at the center of inquiry has allowed scholars to re-organize historical periodization, broaden the disciplinary frameworks of interpretation beyond the history of art and film studies, and identify a new field of interdisciplinary scholarly practice.
