Description

The Matter of Images, now in a revised second edition from Routledge, offers a comprehensive exploration of representation through Richard Dyer's incisive essays. This collection examines why images matter, what they are composed of, and the material realities they reference across contemporary culture. Dyer analyses representations of marginalised and dominant groups with equal rigour, drawing on diverse cultural texts spanning from queer and straight perspectives to political discourse, depictions of Empire, and classic films including Gilda, Papillon, and The Night of the Living Dead. New essays in this edition expand the scope with additional critical insights. Essential for students and scholars of film history, visual culture, and media criticism seeking to understand how representation functions in shaping cultural meaning and social understanding.

Key Features

Revised second edition with new essays expanding Richard Dyer's original critical framework on visual representation.

Analyses both marginalised and traditionally dominant groups, offering balanced perspectives on representation across film and culture.

Examines iconic films including Gilda, Papillon, and The Night of the Living Dead alongside contemporary cultural texts.

Explores the material realities behind images and the significance of representation in shaping cultural discourse.

Addresses representations of queerness, political correctness, and Empire within broader frameworks of visual meaning.
