Publisher Synopsis
""The present anthology provides readers with an eclectic collection of essays, two of them by the editors, who also give a brief and useful introduction into the emergin field of vision and the hermeneutics of the visual. The area is in its developmental stages and is marked by diverse positions on how visual metaphors and tropes work to organize and structure our understanding of the world, and how recent theory and scholarship has tried to critically deconstruct these visually organized paradigms. This book reflects this diversity." --Joe Galbo, Univ. of New Brunswick in" Canadian Journal of Sociology Online ."<br>"This book offers an argument about an argument. It is a poststructural step beyond postmodernism and a leap beyond the Cartesian dualisms that were once a radical call to reason."<br>--Douglas Harper, "Contemporary Sociology <br> Read more...
