Résumé :
|
The term 'visual culture' crops up all over the place. What does it mean, what questions does it raise, and what do these notions mean for various aspects of society? Can we talk about a developing visual culture? Is this to the detriment of other cultural commodities such as words? What do we lose as a consequence of this? What might we gain? In order to stimulate the exchange of ideas about these kinds of ideas and developments, The National institute for Photography in the Netherlands (NFI) has invited six writers, scholars and experts, to devote an essay to the problems and potential of visual culture. The result is a digestible collection of texts that sets out a range of positions that these questions and phenomena entail. Journalists, philosophers and art historians define the term 'visual culture' from the perspective of their respective disciplines. (Note de l'éditeur)
