Product Description

Drawing on a wide range of visual production, this introductory text provides students with a clear conceptual framework for the explanation and analysis of visual culture, offering them an understanding of the discourses and vocabularies of visual and cultural practices. Beginning with commonsense notions of art and design, it shows how recent theorizing has been thrown into doubt and, in exploring the tensions between contesting explanations, aims to establish a more satisfactory definition and explanation of visual culture.
