The Visual in Social Theory
ISBN: 9780826478771 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The distinction between understanding sight as a natural faculty - vision - and understanding it as an historical and social construct - visuality - has had significant impact in the visual arts. Not so in social theory where, notwithstanding the efforts of the classical theorists, the practical scientific necessity of privileging visuality over vision has been lost. The Visual in Social Theory argues that, because of its uncritical use of terms like modernity, postmodernity, globalisation and the Third Way, contemporary social theory has become a participant in rather than a critic...
