Omschrijving
Building upon the ideas from his "Transcultural Cinema", the author argues for a different conception of how visual images create human knowledge in a world in which the value of seeing has often been eclipsed by words. In ten chapters, he explores the relations between photographic images and the human body.
Winner of the 2007 Dorothy Lee Award, Media Ecology Association One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2006 "The prose is jargon-free, lucid, and, at its best, poignant, especially when the author writes about the now-grown child subjects of his treasured postcard collection... [MacDougall] urges scholars to see the visual as a complement rather than as a substitute for the verbal, as a language with its own vocabulary and potential. Given the author's obvious accomplishments in both forms, his long and successful career stands as the best evidence for the validity of his argument."--Richard John Ascarate, MEDIEN
