Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Practices of Looking, Third Edition, bridges visual, communication, media, and cultural studies to investigate how images and the activity of looking carry meaning within and between different arenas in everyday life. The third edition has been updated to represent the contemporary visual cultural landscape and includes topics like the increasingly rapid global circulation of media, the rise of design and DIY cultures, digital media art and activism, and challenges to photojournalism and news media. Challenging yet accessible, Practices of Looking, Third Edition, is ideal for courses across a range of disciplines.
Includes index.
Images, power, and politics -- Viewers make meaning -- Modernity: spectatorship, the gaze, and power -- Realism and perspective: from Renaissance painting to digital art -- Visual technologies, reproduction, and the copy -- Media in everyday life -- Brand culture: the images and spaces of consumption -- Postmodernism: irony, parody, and pastiche -- Scientific looking, looking at science -- The global flow of visual culture.
