Description

This overview of modern visual culture explores the relationship between technology, society and identity which underpins contemporary `media culture′. While tracing historical shifts as they have developed through, or intersected with, different camera technologies, the book is not so much about the camera′s field of vision: it is concerned with processes of modernization and the dramatic changes - perceptual, experiential, epistemological - which characterize modernity. Using the camera and its technologies as symbols of `realism′, Scott McQuire interweaves: the history of visual culture from Lumiere to virtual reality by way of photography, cinema and television; the broad social and political transformations of the last 150 years; the ambivalent relationship between `image′ and `reality′; and the changing relationships of time and space, particularly related to colonialism, globalization, the modern city and cyberspace available in every home. Review `McQuire has produced a comprehensive and lucidly written account of the camera-driven transformations across the period we may now retrospectively call "modernity"′ - Victor Burgin, Unviersity of California, Santa Cruz `Visions of Modernity offers an admirable overview of modern visual culture. But, more than this, it takes us through a wide range of debates in cultural theory. McQuire has produced an encompassing, and very impressive work of intellectual synthesis′ - Kevin Robins, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne About the Author Scott McQuire completed his PhD in the Politics Department at the University of Melbourne in 1995.
